Robin's Journal

Sunday, Oct. 5
We woke to a very heavy rain, remnants from the typhoon. We had breakfast and then on to the church building at 9:00am. Song service, then split into classes which means moving the chairs around into small circles in the auditorium. Charlie is the leader of our group and we are studying Christian stewardship. The teenagers have another small room where they meet and Nathan enjoyed Bible study with them, although much of it was not in English. 10:00am classes end and chairs are rearranged for worship. The singing was extraordinary and wonderful in spite of the fact there were only about 50 of us present. The ladies had a meeting after worship to plan a ladies fellowship, then we went to lunch at Hugo's Restaurant. It was very good. The owner, Gloria Hugo, lived in America for many years and now imports some foods from America and is a good cook. More rain. More unpacking for us and Johnny sorting books. We're having trouble with our internet connection now, probably because of the typhoon. PM worship services later in the midst of more rain. After services, the LCC Bible faculty had a meeting, which gave me an opportunity to visit with Telly Belo, Giselle Belo and some of the other ladies. It was nice to be able to discuss the children's Bible classes, ladies day activities, family, etc. The church here seems really intent on involvement and they have activities going it seems all the time. We did not leave the church building until 8:30pm (long meeting), so we just snacked and went to bed.
