YAY! It was indeed a very tiring day but worth every sweat. The Holy Week moves people. You see at every corner families, barkadas, and those devoted to the Holy Week. Just proves that, whatever happens even in this one certain time, people become united for Jesus. (although it shouldn't be just occasionally). What was most moving was the booklet we have. The reflections in every station was definitely striking to the core of my soul.

♫♪At the cross I bow my knees, where your love was shed for me..There's no Greater love than this♫♪

And, thanking you guys for the company!
