MARGIENARY

In the evening of August 18th, people from from all over the country :) begun to arrive at my home to attend the wedding of Norman (our new member in our translation team). The Luyks (Ninong Huub and Ninang Becky) arrived first with an Indian lady (as in a girl from India) who came to know a little bit about translation. While I was trying to impress Ninang Becky in the kitchen (well, just trying to dislodge the impression that I know nothing but talk to my pc... that I have come a long way from the girl who eats noodles right out from the packet:), Ninong Dalmas arrived from Manila. Thankfully, I only needed to fry some vegetables for dinner because the Luyks bought chicken lechon and grilled fish, so that's what we feasted on at supper. Yummy!!! Saturday, August 19th was the big day. We prayed for a sunny day but it seemed that the sun forgot to wake up early and so the day dawned with overcast sky and rain showers. At around 6AM, three more guests came in the persons of Ninang...

Norman on the morning of his wedding! :) smiles and claps his hands Malcat-Martes Nuptial 19th of August 2006

This is a Kalanguya comic song I heard being sang by my niece and nephew during a visit to my birthvillage called Nansiakan. I recorded it cuz it was so funny and I like the rhyme. :) It is sang with the tune of the Philippine National Anthem. Bayang Bayangbang (Town of Bayangbang) Nanhakit hi Pollang (Pollang got sick) Hipay hakit to (What is his illness) Hakit ni aho. (It's the illness of a dog.)

Part of the ministry of CFM is to help the Kalanguya churches reach out to the unbelieving members of the community. These pictures are of the CFMites playing sports with the youth of Mapayao village and then to 'lure' (hehe) them to a night of evangelistic meeting.

Mapayao, N.V., Aug. 12, 2006 - Some three weeks ago, a lady came to the Kalanguya Scriptures Society/CFM (Christian Fellowship Services Center Ministries) office. She stayed for a few hours and while we were sipping our native arabica coffee, she told us a few of the problems that their church is encoutering. One of these is a very notable absence of younger people in the church. There is basically no youth group in their church in spite of the fact that there are so many young people in the village. The lady went home with a promise from us that we will see what we can do as a team. Yesterday, we asked our mayor to send a truck to transport the CFM residents to Mapayao Village where we will start reaching out to the young people through sports. Above are our boys Romeo, Onil, Jefferson and Johnson having the day of their lives atop the dump truck. At the village plaza, the CFMites lead by Pastor Bong and Kuya Ariel organized teams with a mixture of CFMites and the villagers to play ba...
