It’s the third day yet I feel like I haven’t stayed that long yet. I didn’t have enough sleep also. We had our breakfast at 7am then proceeded to the 3rd plenary talk. It was given by Mr. Ken Noecker. “You are the light of the world”. “Wait. Me??” I haven’t really envisioned much of myself doing noble things. I mean, I’m just an ordinary girl living a simple life. When Mr. Ken shared that Emma Watson is fighting for women’s right, (which I somewhat knew already because of her tweets and posts on twitter and fb) I was amazed of how noble she is knowing that she’s still young. Unlike any other actresses her age, Emma did something unusual, something different yet noble. “If not me, who? If not now, when?” She’s right. Take courage and “let no one despise your youth. Let no one despise your weakness.” These messages always ring on my mind and I realized that I’m never too young to serve the Lord. When the plenary ended, we went to our DGs (and I found them finally! And my DGL was an Indian, Laryssa), had our lunch and then got ready for the WAR GAMES >:D While I was having my lunch, I was already nervous because it would be my first time and I’m not really that sporty and I might get injured or I might be the reason for the defeat of our team. HAHA. The war game was really intense!! I ran as fast as I could and killed as many as I can. I witnessed some brothers rolling and I’ve seen that even if the person is coming from a different tribe, when he falls, the other helps him stand. I liked our strategies and also how teamwork was really present on our tribe. We were all sweaty. The game ended. We took pictures. It was really fun and memorable. After that, (fast forward) we were getting ready for our dance for E-Night. We’ve been practicing this dance for almost a month. Finally we were able to perform the dance. We’ve seen the performances of the brothers and sisters also and what I liked most was the belly dancing of one Indian sister. Later part of the night was fellowship. This day was grand!
