For the past few days, I was always on the go. For your information, I already left St. Arnold Janssen Shrine Parish of Cainta after Easter. They prepared a program for me and that I really appreciated. Thank you to the many kind souls in the parish.

Frt. Jules and the Knights of the Altar sang their farewell song for me.

I went home to Davao last Easter Tuesday to also prepare the things necessary for my thanksgiving mass. The support coming from my relatives, neighbors and even of my parish was very overwhelming.

Individual blessing

Not only that, I also received the full support of the Divine Word Formation Center of Davao, the SVD seminary in this part of the world. Thank you confreres! Fr. Edgar Javier, SVD told me that in his long years in the priesthood, it was his first time to attend a thanksgiving mass. Maraming salamat talaga sa inyo.

After my thanksgiving mass, I also traveled to Clarin, Misamis Occidental for the thanksgiving mass of Fr. Jaekel Solde, SVD. It was a very long travel, grabe! Maraming salamat talaga kay Fr. Sam Clarin, SVD who offered the car of the vocation office. Nadaanan ko ang Marilog District of Davao City (this place could be the next Baguio and Tagaytay of the Philippines), Bukidnon (wonderful mountains!), Cagayan de Oro City (beautiful cathedral), Iligan (we had to detour because of the bombing done sa isang tulay dito) and marami pang iba.

The thanksgiving mass of Fr. Jaekel was also very successful...He also received the full support of the people of his community.

Boys' Bonding at the Dolphin Rescue Center
***
After the thanksgiving, the Pantas Class (minus Fr. Jhonatan Letada, SVD -- tama po ang spelling ng name niya), had our bonding at the Dolphin Rescue Center. It was a wonderful experience for me to swim with the dolphins and feed them.
***
A very rare chance...
***
To Fr. Aris, Fr. Gil, Fr. Jaekel, and Fr. Jhojo, thank you very much and God bless us in our new mission. May the Heart of Jesus live in the hearts of all.

Thanks.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays now. I used to hate it because I was issolated from my family. I got kicked out of the house because I was parting and doing drugs. Sure I had fun for the first couple of years untill I realized that my addiction got way out of hand. I tried to quit but it didn't work. For the first time in 7 years I turned to my family for help. They were more than happy to help me to find a great drug rehab. I worked for me the first time. However, it takes more than once for some people. You just have to stick in there and have hope. So this Thanksgiving I want to say thank you God for blessing me with such a great family, and thank you to my family for believing in me and being there for me when I needed them the most.
