On the Sabbath, Mr. Baker and I got up about 5am, and caught an early flight to Bacoload City where we spent the Sabbath. Mr. Siopan and his wife met us and the airport and we were then taken to our hotel in town. That afternoon we met 52 brethren for Sabbath services. A very friendly and appreciate group of God’s people make me feel welcomed to their congregation. We had special music by their 11-voice choir and after Mr. Baker’s comments to the brethren coupled with an explanation of our 3 week trip, he introduced me for the sermon. After services we had a very special treat—as they had arranged for Coke and Sprite and some Pizza Hut pizza! What a treat.
That evening Mr. Berk and I met the elders, deacon, and wives for special “Bacolod Chicken” on bamboo skewers and served on banana leave with garlic rice! Topped off with a cold San Miguel beer and it was the perfect meal! (Rumor has it that this was Mr. Clyde Kilough’s favorite while here…I can see why). Got to bed early that evening, as we had to get up at 4:30 on Sunday to catch connecting flights to Davao City for the weeks meetings and conference.
