We are beginning to settle in to our Sunday schedule, which is International (English) Ward 10:00-1:00, then pick up the Makati 3rd's last two hours. We did this again today, and again, though five hours of church is a long time, we found we really enjoyed those last two hours. We can understand some of what is being said, and the people are so sweet and friendly. David and I were called on to offer prayers the last hour, and I was first. I determined that I had to take the plunge and try in Tagalog. I was shaking! I haven't been that scared in a long time. But, I managed a brief prayer and they were so congratulatory and excited that I had done it. David had longer to think and said a much better prayer, but he said he was equally frightened. Again, many shook his hand and thanked him for his prayer. We may decided to attend sacrament in the 3rd ward from now on, though the Int'l. ward needs our music skills more. Have to think about that.
They have their version of "Linger-Longers" called "Munch and Mingle", but we didn't know about it ahead of time so will go next month.
