Sunday

Breakfast was at 8 this morning. Church was at Mana Hermenia’s today and we needed to leave around 9. Mayette made us breakfast, we got ready for church, and headed out.

There were 13 or 14 people at Mana Hermenia’s for church. We had 3 songs, Edward brought an opening, and a good Sunday School discussion. Brent had the message and I shared a few extra thoughts.

Lunch was served shortly thereafter: pork, fried chicken, pancit, fruit salad, and cake.

After lunch we visited a while, then we younger people started singing. We sang about 20 or 25 songs and took a little break for some refreshments. Then we started again and when we ran out of inspiration from the books, we started singing pdf sheet music off our phones. We kept that up til about 5:30 when Jordan’s and Jordy showed up. Jordy had spent the night at their place. Edward and Sherrylaine and KC went along with us for then for supper.

We had told Jordy last night that he was buying supper so we loaded up the mission car and headed into town. Jordy was pretty sure he would have help paying for supper but wasn’t sure yet, but Brent and I were kind and offered to help him out.

Leyte Park Hotel and Resort was chosen for the supper venue. We had beef, chop say, fish, shrimp, and rice. The food was very good and the atmosphere was a little higher end. By American standards it was still inexpensive though at basically $6 per person,

We ate at the red table at the end of the room. It was dark so we couldnt see much of the resort, but it looked like smaller cabins with the swimming pool in the center.

Plus we obviously had mango shakes, although only one a piece this time. I guess I didn’t mention how Jordy and Brent each consumed 3 mango shakes during a short overnight stay at surf camp. Also Jordy had had a mango drink of some sort from Robinsons before they picked us up!

We decided to celebrate Jordy’s birthday tonight so Ford put one of Jordy’s shirts that had been laundered into a gift bag and took it along for his present. Jordy was a little amazed to pull his own shirt out of his gift!

We made our plans for the morrow and headed towards Robinsons to look at snorkel gear. The plan was to not be back at Ford’s til next Sunday so we packed our stuff and went to bed.

Today wasn’t a day of alot of activity, but these days mean alot to me, just being with friends and not only having fun, but also sharing and discussing Christian life, which really encourages me.
