Day 25 - Sunday, July 24, 2016
Happy Pioneer Day! A pioneer is someone who goes before showing others the way to follow. There are many examples of wonderful pioneers in our lives.
The picture today is this hymnal that brought a smile to my face. For church today we went to Tarlac Ward 5. Books like this sat proudly on many of the chairs. The books were donated by a senior couple who came and donated 4 months of their lives for the Angeles Mission but also spent many hours with the saints in Tarlac Ward 5. Ron and Diana Williamson's memory still lives here as the members sing words of praise out of these hymnals each week. Before this donation, the number of books were few and they were tattered and torn. Music is huge in the Filipino culture. Sometimes it is with piano accompaniment and sometimes not. Their voices are loud and full of spirit. It reminds me of the quote, "We get nearer to the Lord through music than perhaps through any other thing except prayer."
