Marhay na aldaw saindo gabos! Una sa lahat, gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa lahat ng sumuporta sa mission trip na ito—both in prayer and financially. Hindi ko po ito mararating kung wala ang tulong at kabutihan ng Lord. Kasama ko po kayong lahat sa bawat ginawa ni Lord. All glory belongs to Him! 

Ito po ang unang mission trip ko, at alam kong hindi po ito aksidente. God truly ordained every step. Mahaba man ang biyahe, puyat, pagod—but His grace was more than enough. God moved in amazing ways in my life during this mission. I saw firsthand the power of prayer and community during our time in Catanduanes. Napakasaya! God really moved lalo na sa mga kabataan doon. 

I'm so thankful sa super welcoming na churches at mga taong nakilala namin. Nakita ko po kung gaano ka-active si Lord sa mga puso nila. It was life-changing to see how God works through ordinary people—people like me. God reminded me that missions begin the moment we say “yes” to Him. At sa pagsunod na 'yon, He didn’t just work through me—He worked in me. Kahit may kaba, binigyan Niya ako ng tapang at kumpiyansa para ibahagi ang Kanyang pag-ibig. God showed me na He can use my weakness for His glory. This trip opened my heart to serve even more. I grew spiritually and emotionally through this mission. 

Sabi po sa Isaiah 6:8, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” This verse became so real to me. Because when we say, “Here I am,” God shows us He’s already gone ahead of us. This mission humbled me and strengthened my faith. Serving in Catanduanes made me trust God more. Ang dami pong breakthroughs at answered prayers! 

Punong-puno po ang puso ko ng pasasalamat—hindi lang para sa opportunity, kundi para sa ginawa ni Lord sa akin. This may be my first mission trip, pero alam ko pong hindi ito ang huli. I'm deeply grateful to be part of this journey. To God be all the glory!
