JeSuS: La Terapia Que Si Funciona

Jesus: The Therapy That Works

With Cristy and the kids of Monte Sion

The banner speaks about Jesus being our greatest healer...in fact He is the only cure to all our sickness - physically and spiritually. Indeed He is the only therapy that works.

One thing amazing about my trip to GDL is that I was able to attend a Christian Church for 3 Sundays. I attended the Monte Sion Church "Mount Zion" where my Mexican friends Daniel and Cristina are regular attendees.

Of course, as expected the official language used in the church is Spanish including the songs, the sermon and the Bible that they use. Good thing though, I know most of the songs so I'm singing the english version while everybody's singing in Spanish. Quite hard, right?! What's even harder is I can't understand the sermon. Thanks to Rodrigo (Cristy's cousin) and Daniela who translated to me every word the preacher says.

I feel so blessed with this Church. Everyone's so accomodating and friendly. I may not understand everything that they say, I can feel the presence of God in them and I know that we are worshipping the same God. I'm thankful to God that he did not leave me alone in a foreign place. He gave me new friends and even family that I could count on.

Gloria a Dios!!!

VaMoS CHiVaS!!!

Go Chivas!!!

Soccer games are not that popular in the Philippines. I've watched soccer/football games in our school before but professional football??? Only in my dreams! I only see that on TV like watching the World Cup or something.

But hey...how is that???

me @ the Guadalajara Chivas vs. Anlante Soccer Game in Jalisco Stadium, Mexico

I felt like crying when Daniel and Cristy gave me the ticket for the game. The ticket came as a surprise. We were going to Daniel's softball game when they made me close my eyes and put the tickets in my hand!!! Oh I really love these people!!!

Chivas vs. Atlante at the height of the game

Well...the score turned out to be 1-1.

But the end the day, we are all happy. It's not only me who watched Chivas live for the first time.hehehe! A million thanks to you guys! I will never forget this experience.

by the way...thanks to Lulu for providing the complimentary tickets!

Going back to GDL alone was at first not a good idea for me. I'm thinking that it would be so sad being alone in the hotel...don't know what to do during the weekend and stuff...

But since I would be travelling together with some GDL guys who went to HICAP, the trip was not as sad as I thought.

I met Daniel...Engr form Hitachi GDL and his lovely wife Cristina who also works in Hitachi. I happened to know that they are Christian because Daniel and I were able to talk during Narita-Tijuana flight. So they invited me to their church, Monte Sion. It's nice to know that there are Christian church here in Mexico. It reminds me of my church back home. There I met Daniela and Viviana. These 4 guys are so cool and accomodating..they would pick me up in my hotel and bring me to different places in Mexico so we really had a lot of bonding moments...
