Summer vacation for students here in the Philippines is April and May. It's the hottest time of year! School resumes the second week of June. So every district and stake is busy hosting youth camps, youth conferences and temple trips.
We were recently asked to be the Devotional Speakers for Burgos' Youth Conference, held in Santa Ana. This is quite a drive and we couldn't leave until after our new missionary/trainers orientation. That meant we had a lot of driving to do in a short amount of time in order to be there first thing in the morning for the devotional. President asked the Assistants to come and help do the driving and help us do the devotional. It was such a fun trip and we loved spending some time with those great youth from Burgos District.
Look at these beautiful youth! We had so much fun with them.
Here they are preparing for their cultural event by practicing the tinikling! Watch out ankles!
Our course, the youth were more excited to see the Assistants than they were to see us!
They came to the devotional in their Sunday best and were very reverent and attentive.
Each unit had their picture taken and this was the youth from the little branch of Gamu. I was surprised with how many youth came from that branch. It was only for those 14 and over.
After the devotional, President ordered the assistants and I to take a 2-hour P-Day and play a little at the beach. This was such a treat since all the beaches in our mission boundaries are inaccessible. The water was so clear and we had a blast just wading a little. We so appreciate having such good, dependable assistants!
