July 5, I went to Dagupan, Tuao to visit the family of brother Enzo. The owner of the land where the church building stands is already claiming the land so the church decided to join as at Palca every Sunday. I went first to the house of brother Enzo because I am hearing that they are ashamed to join us, as many of those people who are not Christians around them might say discouraging words that the church at Dagupan is abolished. I told them that, we are not here to please men but God so as Peter said, we ought to obey/follow God than man. So they finally decided they will come.

Brother Rogelio Esperanza was the one who went to Palca on this Sunday.

July 22, we traveled for about 2 hours to Santiago to attend the burial of brother Virgilio Jacob. He is a preacher there. Brother Rody preached a sermon about “Death”.  I have not known him much because he is far from us and we often here of the work there, but still, he is our fellow co-worker in the Lord so we gave our respect to him and his family. As a member of the family of Christ, we should share the same burden with our brethren.
