Seneca Zone Activity, August 2012

During most transfers the zones get together for an activity.  And every now and again, President and I get invited.  They know we really can't compete - but I'm at least good as a photographer.

Seneca recently played "Minute to  Win it".  And the zone teams were made up in honor of the Olympics, based on geographic locations with missionaries placed on teams generally close to their home.  General is a very loose term. Elder Vanaa from Tahiti ended up on team Mexico.

Team Mexico (who won)
Left to right:  Sister Quintanilla, Sister Schoemaker, Elder Vanaa, Elder Carrera, Elder Brown and Elder Valdetano.

Team Asia
Front row left to right:  Elder Julander, Sister Lawrence, Elder Bigelow, and Elder Teriirere.
Back row: Elder Pon,  Elder Szabo (from Hungary - man, we need to give some geography lessons), and Elder Croft.

Team Utah
Front row: Sister L. Miller, Sister K. Miller, Elder Boronow, and Elder Lowry.
Back row:  Elder Vaterlaus, Elder Schow and Elder White.

Team USA
Front row left to right: Sister Lewis, Sister Joost and Sister Brown.
Back row: Elder Bates, Elder Bott, Elder Miles and Elder Bodily.

Close up of Elder Bott.  I knew you wanted to see that.

Here are the still shots of some of just a few games.  We were not there for all of them.

First there was a race to stack cups and then unstack them without tipping them over.

This is a new form of planner checks.  The missionaries balance their planners on the back of their hand and use the rolled up magazine to knock the planners off their opponents hands while protecting their own.


This game was about pitching pennies.
