We have a "Let’s Get Physical" activity day, which we organised at Bukit Jalil Recreational Park. Sister Jennifer designed a cute small invitation card, as a hand-out to the children to bring back home for their parents knowledge, and investigators too.

Sister Jennifer is a dedicated Primary President. She created a WhatsApp group chat for the parents of the Primary children. We can keep the parents updated on all the information and activities for the children.

We were there around 10.15am. All of us gathered at Bukit Jalil Recreational Park Car Park, and we headed to the designated picnic or rest area, which we can put all of our food and drinks on the table.

We started the activity with the opening prayer and message from Sister Jennifer around 10.45am. We had a little celebration for Denzel’s birthday and he is going to be young man.

After the mini celebration, we started with the breakfast first before we start the program. We had hard boiled eggs, cakes, muffins, fried rice noodles, fruits and drinks. Then, we gathered all the Primary children and we have a warm up Banana Dance.

It is really difficult to gather all the children at the same time, and doing the activity! We were quite exhausted!

We were more focus for Valiant children, whereby they can able to complete one of the activities which required – that is the physical fitness.

At last, I took out the jump rope which I bought yesterday, just in case we can get the children play the rope jumping. I was surprised that it turned out to be 360 degrees!

All the children were so excited about it, everyone wanted to try to jump, even the younger children. Even the parents too, joined the fun!

We had some food again after the sweaty rope jumping session. We ended the activity around 12.00 noon. Everyone of us cleaned and leaved the recreational park around 12.15pm.

It was a simple and short outing for the children, and the parents too! Even though the turn out a bit little, but still it is an encouragement to us – the Primary workers!

Other than that, I really felt proud with Issac, as He is the only Priesthood that attended this activity, indirectly he is watching over us… even though he is just an Aaronic Priesthood holder.

It is on a Sunday. I was quite hesitate that want to let the children join the party as it is on Sabbath. All other children were ok with the date and will come, thus I think it is good too to let both Issac and Annabelle to join the party, as the kids did not see each others for quite a long time.

This is the first time we came here too. We were too early and we just sat there waiting at the reserved tables, while the staffs starting to decorate the little place for the Hi-Tea.

We picked them around 5.00pm. We saw other kids parents at that time. I can see all the children: Wan Xin, Xi Xuan, Xi Wen, Avelia, Erlene including Issac and Annabelle were having fun at the party.



We too received some nice pastries for us to bring home, which is homemade by Lily – Wan Xin’s mummy. She is so thoughtful! Issac and Annabelle are happy for meeting with their friends in this Sabbath!
