Welcoming the Verbum Dei Spanish Mission GroupThe Verbum Dei-Tagaytay community welcomed the visit of the VD Spanish Mission trip group
beginning August 20 until August 26, 2019. One of the first highlights of their trip was their visit at the Tagaytay Teachers’ Housing Project or Pabahay community nearby. The Pabahay area houses a diverse groups of people, composed of professional workers, housewives, skilled and small business owners with their respective families and relatives. During their visit, the Spanish mission group went around the area and gathered the children living there, from ages five to ten.They were delighted to see and meet the Spanish missionaries and disciples. The children’s active participation and big smiles during the games they played and other activities amused and inspired the group to continue bringing Jesus in their midst, so to speak. At first, some of the little kids were hesitant to join in the fun games, but when they saw that all the other kids were enjoying and having fun imitating the actions, dancing and cheering of the Spanish group, the other children eventually joined in the fun. They were then given light snacks at the end of the activities. All in all, the Spanish mission group together with the VD Tagaytay Missionaries and some Adult disciples, made the children very happy and elated as they experienced the joy of being one with the community. On this first day of the Spanish mission trip, the children felt how to have fun with people they have met for the first time, and sharing the simple joys of just being with others. With other activities of the Spanish mission group lined up we are looking forward to more joyful experiences with them. |
