Day 3 - Sunday service in Talaan
At their Sunday service, I was honored by the opportunity to give the message with the help of Ate Alice translating. The service is held in the open air under the roof of the multi-purpose area right alongside the water. Despite the fact that a lot of people do understand english, I realized even more how important it is to know and speak the language here to effectively disciple others. After service the church served lunch (delicious pancit) to everyone, even with the small budget they operate from. Many walk from far distances to come to church, and they never want to have them leave on empty stomachs. For hours people just hung out and enjoyed the fellowship. We had a chance to play another fast paced scrabble like game out here called "Take Two". Once again, even though english is their second (and in some cases third) language, they managed to defeat us over and over again! The day ended with some delicious fresh squid and fish that was caught by local fisherman the night before.
