After a million try, I was able to contact Bicol and was able to talk to Pang for 30 minutes. A far cry from 3 minutes of interrupted and static conversation 8 months ago.

I have not been able to talk to Pang for quite a long time. He seemed happy hearing Coco and Zach. Though pronounced Lolo Doding with Lolo Dodo, I know, they had an awesome conversation.

Next week, they are assuming the responsibility of taking care of our chapel for a year. They’ll be the hermano and hermana of our little chapel. After living the seminary 12 years ago, this is the closest they could get in serving the church directly.
