Day One

Day one was so exciting! We arrived at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu at 6:30 AM. I immediately noticed the cameraman and couldn’t help but smile because I was so happy to finally be there. I was thrilled to meet my fellow companionship from San Remigio Branch. Since it was the first day, I met new friends, bonded with my counselor, and enjoyed their great company. During lunchtime, we together as a group, and I truly appreciated the chance to share stories about the joys of being a youth in the Church. After lunch, we participated in a meaningful Bible study session where we discussed the gospel of Jesus Christ. ![IMG_20241210_183830.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/manzoriza713/23u5y7aigrik9Lh9Yeb3unSP6LbG9rAG4aQ3S8CpWf6Ujp5w4Vb37gCgKJKc4BG8RxTsp.jpg)

Day Two

On the second day, we prepared a banner and practiced our group yell to present in front of the audience. It was so fun and exciting to perform on stage! The presentation was amazing, and I enjoyed entertaining the audience. Afterward, I invited my friends to take pictures together. We celebrated with pizza, Coke, and ice cream—it was such a memorable moment! ![IMG_20241210_184142.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/manzoriza713/23wgepeBtm9Zi262No77XM4sRKtaojzsaKm4p797J4QKG9oy1wZ2EGTeHKz4nBYjqfWhe.jpg)

Day Three

The third day was the social night, and it was absolutely the highlight for me! I danced with my friends, took pictures with my group and counselor, and had so much fun socializing with everyone. We shared laughs, bonded, and enjoyed every moment of the FSY event. Aside from the dancing, we also had another Bible study session. I actively participated in the class and learned a lot of inspiring lessons that helped me reflect on becoming a better person like Jesus Christ. ![IMG_20241210_184256.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/manzoriza713/23w342JpbMR9vu8yoY9czzT8KcHt4uz93tNdvQjRug5YSUQj59vj1ht4Ba4gXgtvB9T3B.jpg) Overall, the FSY Conference 2024 at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu was an unforgettable experience.
