A Bible missionary & film night
Ryan and I got presentation and movie night activity home a few hours of our Bible missionary. What is so special about this activity is that it was the first time, we offer you a whole movie theater we have one, where we Bible first and then saw our study film with our guests. With God's help the activity was successful and achieved our goal of sharing of the true Gospel. Praise be to God!
Here are two photos of this evening. The first photo is a picture of some of the officers, the Welcoming Committee.
Here are the tickets we activity made:) Pretty cool, isn't it?
Going home
Yesterday, when Ryan and I home Montclair from the sessions, we visited ride were, I sat in the car and began thinking about the entire events of the day. I thought about how much I I was really enjoyed able to do what we do for the Church, and how inspired again, my best to try to be a better person, a better officer, a better servant. There is still so much work to be done but all the work we have before us, is worth one day be. A few seconds later, I realized the sun began to set and although not vocal I thought about what the sunset say me, they read few words, "Ryan, I want to go home."
I was unsure whether Ryan understood what I meant. I thought he would say that something like "dear, DRIVING home we are." However, I knew the only thing he said that "Okay" and from the fact that we both knew what it really means "HOME".
Disney on ice, Parker's Lighthouse and hotel Maya
Ryan and I celebrated our 8th anniversary! We decided that the best gift to another is a day of relaxation. So decided we stay in the city and enjoy the city had. First, we ate breakfast in Roscoe's chicken and waffles and that's exactly what we ordered: chicken and waffles! Next we went to down to see the long beach arena Disney on ice. We don't expect that many people around because it was a working day, but there were a lot of people there to visit! The part I was most enjoyed pointed out as Ryan, Rex the dinosaur in toy story. The only thing that could do what Rex was wave with his small arms while the rest of the characters were all kinds of tricks! It was hilarious to us and we kept cracking up about it.
We were supposed to have a lunch date at Parker's Lighthouse, but we decided only at home eating lunch and dinner in the restaurant, take place. It was the first time we it ate that we so excited when our meals came and I get no chance to photograph our orders! So we decided instead to take some photos of us before the leave.
That night we stayed in the Maya Hotel the breakfast in the morning is located in downtown Long Beach,. I really enjoyed our morning there. The setting was beautiful and relaxing breakfast on the coast. I almost forgot I was in long beach. We will go back more than likely one day for a short weekend.

In loving memory of my Lolama
I didn't know how to write this post to start. I wasn't sure if I should post what happened today, but I do so, am because I don't want to forget.
My Lolama was a sweet and simple person. A woman, I have looked up to. A woman who loved your family. Was the first person in your family to join the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ).
After she learned that worshipping idols or graven you went pictures against the commandments of God were home and threw away all idols and graven images, that you and your family had ever owned. As my grandfather figured out, what do you pursue it; But despite the persecutions that you faced to participate to the Church, never beirrt you in their faith. Instead you kept always up to the promises which God had in store for you. By the grace of God you entered church members her husband and children opened. As one of her grandsons, I can proudly say that our membership you ever could have shared true wealth in the Iglesia ni Cristo with us.
I miss you so much! My heart and my mind is full of so much memories with her. Here are a few reminders that over and over in my mind played yet today…
1) The book that you kept in your room. It had a list of the names of your family, from their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. You would list these names and next to each name the date's birthday, wedding anniversary, home address and telephone number of the person. It was your way to keep family tree. As a young child I knew that this book, which was held special and important.
(2) When I was younger, and my parents were working late into the night, you would join me and my siblings to our room and stay with us while we slept. You really took care of every one of her grandsons.
(3) It has on taught me how do re MI you play and when you found out I was taking piano lessons, piano was happy for me. She made me feel like, I was a talented child pianist. : D
4) After my baptism I went to your home, and I told her I had just been baptized. A few minutes later, gives me a $2 Bill wrapped in a plastic with a post it note, says: in remembrance of your baptism, 14 April 1990 - from Lolama. I thought that was the coolest gift ever (being that it for the first time I saw a $2 bill), and it really help date me not forget my baptism.
(5) The last time I have to keep to your hand. I held her hand and rub your skin and your arms felt so soft. I told her that you do not have many wrinkles as Lolopa. I stayed at her bedside page people think how happy I am, your in my life. Showing I kept their family photos on my blog about my iPhone.
6) Her smile. I miss her smile.
My grandmother, my Lolama, died this morning. I can not still believe, that you went, but I know, just resting, out of your visit, and someday, this will we see you again.
