Filipinos in El Paso: an Invitation

I shared the story of our move to El Paso, Texas a few days ago. Now that we are here we wanted to extend a special invitation to the Filipino community: you are welcome to join us for worship and Bible study at Apollo Heights Baptist Church. Mare Cris is currently the only Filipina member, but we are hoping that will change soon.

Just to be clear, our church is a multi-ethnic/multi-cultural congregation and all races/nationalities are welcome. But we wanted to specifically invite our kababayans here in town that may be looking for friends.

Four Years of Love

Mare Cris and I celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary today!

I wish I could say that all of our goals and dreams for life in the USA have come true, but they haven’t. We have, in fact, recently experienced an extremely disappointing setback in our quest for a job/ministry (the most painful one so far). We’re still feeling the emotional aftershocks.

But God has been good to us, and we have much to be grateful for.

And I can handle shattered dreams as long as she’s by my side. She is, after all, my dream come true.

We’ll make it through this . . . together.

Kahit saan, basta kasama kita (translation: anywhere, as long as I’m with you).
