Good evening my dear friends! Tonight I want to share with you our first Sunday dgroup online fellowship with one of our good friend and long time mentor, Ate Josie. She's our facilitator and dgroup leader.  She is in Manila but she stayed/lived here in San Fernando City, La Union for many years before they transferred to Manila a few years ago.

We were able to survive the technical difficulties aside from the hard pouring rain.  At first we couldn't hear @mallowfit's mic.  We tried to troubleshoot it.  It took us I think more than 20 minutes waiting for her.  Then ahe decided to borrow head set instead because her earphones aren't working.

The videocon started at 3pm and it ended at around past 5pm.  We have so much to learn from each other.  We miss her.  We have our short ***kamustahan*** while waiting for @mallowfit.  Then when everything was all set, Ate Josie officially opened our fellowship with a word of prayer.

We decided to meet regularly.  So expect an awesome online fellowship again on Sunday.  We miss @mavicalipda.  She has work on Sundays.  Her dayoffs are on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  This is expected for she works at a call center.  I told her to message me if she has a new dayoff or if she's free on Sundays so that I can add her to our group chat.

Our dgroup was officially closed with a word of prayer led by @girlalugirl.  We were blessed by each other's sharing and testimonies.  We were encouraged by Ate Josie.  How we miss each other we couldn't help but keep on with what we have started.  But we all have our own things at home.  So we bid goodbye. ***Nakakamiss at nakakabitin ang oras.  Kung pwede lang dugtungan pa.***

It was Ate Josie who first to go offline.  The 3 of us again took time to have some fun with the effects of this video call.  We had a great time.  I praise God for the blessing of technology.

My Carleign joined in and we all had a great time.  What a way indeed to start the week.  ***Kahit ang lakas ng ulan at di masyado nagkakarinigan, masaya kami na nagkikita kita at nagkamustahan.***

One more effect and finally we bid each other goodbye too.  Praise God for this day.  It is also our church's 36th anniversary.  All glory to God for His goodness and faithfulness.  I hope and pray that you too have the chance to still meet with your friends and loved ones thru online.  And continue to keep in touch.  Do not let this pandemic stop you from keeping in touch with them. Let us maximize and utilize the blessing of technology.

Thank you so much for your time.  God bless us all and let us keep praying for each other and for our world.  👍🙏💚🙏👍
