Logos Hope {4/30}


**this is part of my 30-day blog challenge

This post was supposed to be part of my earlier post but i think this is worthy for another post.


As I've told you, my Sundays are amazingly fun.. Sometimes, often times, after the church service is over and the fun long talks ended, we (the young churchmates) roam around somewhere to fill in our eagerness to bond with each other. The usual place is SM CPoint. We go there and eat and sometimes watch a good movie. If we lack budget, we go for not so old movies which only costs us P26.00. Yes there's a cinema ticket that costs twenty six pesos if in case you're not aware of it..

Last Sunday is not usual though, me, Jay-Jay and Jaypee (as most of the youths were invited to a valentine event in another church) went to Logos Hope - the world's largest floating book fair, duct at South Harbor Pier 15, Manila. Logos Hope replaced Doulos if you've heard of it.



We were bless to have a volunteer friend who's kind enough to ask a crew to tour as inside Logos. Not like any other visitors who can only roam in the book fair, we were privilege to visit different parts of Logos like their dining, their worship halls, their laundry area and yes, I should mention, privilege to have free drinks which really made us feel very special :)


Left to right: Jay, Ate Elisa, Jaypee and yours truly :)



If ever you get a chance to be there and privileged to have some of their drinks, go for the milk, you'll never regret it..


And more than that, we meet a new Malaysian friend, Esther who's our tour guide for that day. She's very kind to share even her personal stories with us like her turning point why she decided to join Logos as a volunteer for 2 months, her family, her faith, her country and all. We really hope to see her at our church this Sunday as she said she'll try her best to join us. We wanna repay her for her hospitality.

By the way, have I mentioned that Logos has hundreds of volunteers from different parts of the world? Yes, it's true. I can just imagine how fun it is to be in such experience, meeting new people with different backgrounds and cultures but with one faith. I even told Jay-Jay that when we get married, I'd like us to join the ship as volunteers and he said that he also share the same desire with me. Esther told us that there are husbands and wives with their children who voluntered inside that amazed and excite as even more. Well. we surrender that desire to the Lord. If it's according to His will, then it will come to happen.





This wonderful unusual Sunday made my day more fun and meaningful. Hooorrrrayyy Logos Hope!!
