if you may ask...

its a windless sunday afternoon...so hot today but not like yesterday. I think its a 36C in Manila.
the leaves in the trees are not moving and its just so extraordinarily hot!.. can`t seem to get enough of the cool air from our room`s airconditioning unit. My gums are swelling and with it i am hating the headaches... There`s no denying here comes our hot summer ones again. Heat is unbearable now that i am aging. Church is what keeps me on my feet, i sang my heart out with the praise team this morning unmindful of the perspiration thats making their way like a brook on my back..Oh how i long i could jump and dance forever without being short of breath and getting exhausted.. I love this ministry knowing this is one best thing that i can do for the Lord.. makes me feel so alive!

It has been 2 weeks now that our core group had been into evangelism work. Giving out prayer request forms in areas just surrounding malacanang complex. Last week and today is a success. Thirty people formed groups of seven and they came home bringing 53 prayer requests from 53 people they`ve talked to on the streets. This afternoon there are 57 more and that makes it more than a 100% positive result....From these number of people will be "contacts" to follow up for bible studies...Lord, we claim them in Your name... whatever it takes! We are really excited for new converts to come this year! Our goal are 200 for the year 2011... This is possible if we will only let the Lord use us...

God has been good... i only claim blessings! Time to acquire all His benefits! Our church is still unfinished and i am sad that we have to put off the work on the construction for lack of funds yet i firmly believe we`re gonna do more improvements little by little as God supplies the means.

Two weeks ago my sister glo from Tagum visited us here in malacanang. Mama and I had bonding times with her for a few days.... know what? something came up and i think its quite exciting. its about a recording.... a very long overdue desire and longing of the two of us. well, plano pa lang naman ito at kadalasan ang plano ay na-aabort, huh? lets see what God can do...

Its summer break and my boys are on vacation until school will open again in June.. Charis is job hunting this week. With the heat and all he`s out of the house almost everyday.. Said he needed to save a huge amount of money for some plans of his this coming November... You have our unending support chong.... i mean prayer! God knows your needs. He knows your every desire, hehe!...... Teting is in working mode and heavy with his articles. Looks like he`s grounded in his computer every single day.. but as long as he`s in the same room with me and dad, Dave & jhoy are in the next room and just a call away, i still have a full house.. an empty nest is so remote for now. I am happy! :-)

I love mother Lily being here with us in the house this year too... Will be here until early next year for the Patts family reunion. We want to enjoy her while we can and while she`s here in manila.

We are all fine if you may ask. That`s becoz of the goodness of God!
