Day 33 - A Sunday with The Alvendias










We were invited by the Alvendia family (Bro. Rey, Sis. Grace, Marlon, Cherry, Glen) to the Community Assembly of God (CAG) church in San Francisco for worship. The pastor's name is Pastor Mary Stewart. Observation: the Church still sings pretty old songs--and we mean old (Alive forevermore....). It's a simple service.

At lunch, they invited us to HOKKAIDO, a Japanese buffet restaurant in Bridepoint Parkway, San Mateo, near Foster City. Tell you what, it's a lot "decent" ambience-wise (for as lack of better term, excuse me) than Beijing Buffet, but the latter has so much more to offer (and the food is great too). Don't get me wrong; the food is excellent--especially the Japanese delicacies. I had a blast! (Ehem, this is Len talking--hear the bias). Masarap!--That's from Jovell.

Right after that sumptuous meal, we went back to CAG for the evening service. Hear this: Bro. Mark and Kuya Arnel opened the church door. Right after that, the alarm went on! Somebody left the door opened and the alarm rang wen they walked in. We had no clue how to shut it off! The police car drove by twice and we really were expecting some police visits. But they did not stop in our location so we just waited for some other church people to come and do something about it. Apparently, it shut off by itself before the control guy set foot in the church.
It was a great time of fellowship with the Alvendias. Cherry let us ride her new car--it's very nice. Glen, the youngest, was driving. Marlon and the parents ride another car. We left the Taurus at the church parking lot. They are awesome people.

Another blessed Sunday for all of us.
