For this week's discussion and lessons had given me the insights of how the church begun here in the Philippines and who came here first and when it started and who were the founder or the person started the church. First I have come to learn how it happens and how it goes, and so proud of the missionaries who came here so brave to face trials and persecution. Now I understand why Filipinos are still so afraid of change because we were very ignorant of change. Somehow because of the pass experiences that Filipinos had gone through, and I know it was never easy. I can see also that Filipinos are no longer original in blood for there were so many countries that had came here and colonies this place. I give my highest salute to the missionaries and Americans who tried to fight for our freedom, and sometimes I felt ashamed of what the Filipinos were acting at those times toward the people who had tried to help them, and somehow I can see that why there are so many Filipinos this time who were hard headed, because Filipinos are really hard headed, and doesn't like anyone to govern them.
My family came and grew as a Catholic, both of my parents came from different Islands, and as I grew up because I live with my aunt and uncle who were Catholic and so I grew up knowing Catholicism. But my aunt respected my mother for not letting me baptized in a Catholic church because my mother was a Christian Protestant, and every time my aunt would bring me to Catholic church she would not allow me to take the Lord supper for I am still a kid and I am not a Catholic believer because my mother is also not. So, she believes that what my religion is should be the same with my mother, only if I have the right age to make a decision and to become part of Catholic church. But those times doesn't bother me at all, I am thankful that I did not come to that point in my life.
Now, because I am a believer of Christ I will continue to serve my God and there's nothing that will change my perspective in trusting and loving my Father and King. I will continue to reach out to those who doesn't really understand of what is religion and what is having a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
