INCOMPARABLE EXPEPERIENCE

Last Thursday, September 26, 2013, me and Joanna Malicdem went to Apalit, Pampanga to witness the "Pasalamat ng Katawan" of the Members of the Church of God International (MCGI). Before we took a bus, we went to DZME which is located at the 5th floor of the Victory Mall near the terminal. We visited our friends there and told them to follow us right after their on the job training. As we finished our conversation with them, we went to the grocery to buy some goods like alcohol, tissues, etc.

Me and Malicdem were very excited. We ate junk foods while we were heading to Apalit. We did a lot of conversations. After a long hours of waiting, we reached our destination. First, we cleaned our place and put a cover so that we were able to lie down. We took a rest for a while. A few minutes later, we bought foods and ate in one of the stores there.

At 11:00 pm, if I'm not mistaken, Nerissa, Mean and Rodel arrived. They have their meal first. After that, we shared stories. We were just waiting for tomorrow, the beginning of PNK.

At 5:30 in the morning, I woke up. Me and Malic searched for a washroom. We can't talk until we haven't brushed our teeth. It's funny when we were avoiding to talk to each other because of it. We bought breakfast before the "awitan" ended. We went back to our place and waited for it to start.

The first topic was about the content of the famous prayer entitled "Our Father". I was amazed when Bro. Eli and Kuya Daniel explained that this was wrongfully translated. Within the 21 years of my existence, this is the first time that I realized that there is something wrong in the prayer.

The moment when we sing and dance the songs of praise for God is the best part of PNK. Although I didn't know the choreography, I joined the brethren and did it as lively as I can.

Friendship also are being strengthen here. For 3 days that we were together, we do things at the same time like eating together, learning together and sharing stories together. When somebody is in need of something, one will volunteer to give what she asked for without hesitations.

Each day is a new learnings coming from Bro. Eli and Kuya Daniel. I am very thankful because I became part of it and I will not be tired of coming here.I'm excited for the next PNK!
