After the lessons, we extended the invitation and two precious souls went in front to confess their faith, they are a couple and the parents of sister Arlene, who was a long time member of the Lord’s church since her young age. Mr. Flor and sister Pacing Maramag baptized into Christ.

In the afternoon, I preached at Palca the lesson “How Comitted are you?” After the worship, I took pictures of the brethren at Palca who are in attendance. Some of them are in Tuguegarao and worship in the morning because they are studying and working there, but still go back to Palca when they have no classes or work.

In the evening, in our midweek service, brother Rody taught “Luke 8”. After the lesson, we extended the invitation, and one soul went in front to confess her faith. She is the girlfriend of brother Teddy named Ruvina Catubag.

We only have a few attendance because of the typhoon. It is not yet strong during our service in the morning.

In the afternoon, the rain started to fall heavy and the wind blew strong. I still went to Palca for our service, but when I arrived there, the typhoon is already in the third level that many branches of trees from my way are already falling and are on the middle of the street. When I arrived at Palca, only few brethren where there, but still we continued with our worship but it a little amount of time because according to the news, the landfall of the typhoon is 4p.m. and it ia already 2:30p.m. when we started. I preached to them about “1 Corinthians 2” and also gave them words of wisdom from the bible to keep our faith to God and to go to Him in prayers when we have typhoons like this to His guidance and protection.
