2009-07-23 Youth Pioneer Day BBQ

On July 23, the Young Men and Young Women had a BBQ activity at the Zhao family's house in the evening. Despite the intermittent heavy rain downpour, the youth were blessed with having the BBQ in between two storms. Before eating, everyone engaged in a contest of husking corn. The two teams, one composed of all young women and the other were young men and Brother and Sister Tsai, ended up in a tie. J and his sister, Marisa, barbecued most of the delicious barbecue chicken, zucchini, and corn. Sister Tsai baked a delectable peach cobbler. We also enjoyed eating watermelon, cookies, and ice cream. After dinner, J led everyone to the baseball field to play some games. The first game was called Mingle, a game like unto Musical Chairs where people gather in groups when the caller calls out a number and the odd people are out. It was pretty fun. Unfortunately, it started pouring during the first game. Everyone ran inside. Afterward everyone shared their testimony of how they or their family are first generation pioneers in the church. We thank the Zhao's for their home and the youth leaders for carrying out this wonderful activity. Happy Pioneer's Day!
