March 9 (Sunday Worships)
For our bible study here at Metro Tuguegarao, I was the one who scheduled to teach the 20th chapter of the book of Luke. The elders told me to make a three part lesson on this one and teach it for three weeks. I started Luke 20:1-18 as the first part of the topic. I asked my son to take a picture of me when I started. What you can see is the number of brethren who are with us during our bible study. Halfway of the lesson, that is the time where most will arrived. We kept on telling them to come early but still, this happen. We have an average attendance of 130, but in our bible study, we are only about 25.
In the sermon, brother Rody continued with the series on the books of the bible. He shared to the the book of 2 Samuel. After the sermon, invitation was extended and one precious soul obeyed the gospel. She is sister Marites Cuntapay. She had been attending our services for almost a month already and finally obeyed the gospel. I immersed her in water after the worship. Sorry I do not have any picture of it. I asked brother Rody a copy, but he hasn't sent it yet.
In the afternoon, at Palca, I asked brother Jhian Puselero to preach in the sermon. He is one of those teenagers whom I am training to serve in the church. He did a great job preaching the topic "Never forget". After the worship, we went to the house of sister Linda Uton for her 82th birthday. She haven't able to come to church since November when she dislocated her hips. She had a surgery last month and still recovering. She still cannot stand and walk. We had a prayer with her and she treated us with a meal afterwards.
In Dagupan, brother Robert Rances was able to preached to us "Romans 12:1-8". Hot weather is already felt and that symbolizes that summer is already coming.

March 19 (Tracts distribution)
We tried going early to Dagupan so that it will not be very hot but still, even though it is just 7 in the morning, it was already hot. We distributed bible tracts all over zone 3 of Dagupan. Our chapel is located in Zone 1 and so that it about a kilometer away. We also visited sister Marites Bauit and prayed with them. We planned to have a bible study in her house wherein she will invite the neighbors. We are still waiting for her confirmation as to this day on when we will do it because she is also working in the field everyday.

We were invited by brother Fernando Duque in Tupang, Alcala. Brother Jay and I were late to arrived. They were already done with the tracts distribution when we arrived. We went to have a bible study with two Catholics. It was not part of the schedule because we just met them. We told them that if they want bible study, they can contact the number in the tracts but then, they said we can do it now. By that, brother Jayson Tanguilan shared from the bible while I answered there questions afterwards.

Some of the brethren at Bagunut Church also joined us.
