Crossing Our Fingers

This week marks a new beginning for all of us. Mom is ok, Coco and Zach are doing fine, and I am not experiencing the dreaded flu.

This pm, we went to the baptism of Kris and Cathy's daughter Katie. T'was a revelation on how Filipinos celebrate baptism. We love celebration, we love people and food. The commotion is very much evident of a barrio fiesta baptism, everyone takes picture, unmindful of the liturgy that is going on. I wonder, how are we evangelized before? Or we were really excited about the child and not the liturgy.

I can feel the stuggle of the priest to drive the message assigned to him to drive. It was very tiresome but the fun of it was, we were aware that the children are going to be part of our community.

Food was good, so as the stories. Children running around and friends catching each other's update simply mismerized your soul.

But of course, nightfall reminded us that we have to go and pack for another day lies ahead of us.

Thank you.
