Sunday in Carcar Ward

Elder and Sister Ernstrom are assigned to the Carcar Ward. Carcar is about an hour's drive from Cebu. Until we get a vehicle, we will not be assigned to a ward or branch, so we attended church with them today. The spirit was strong in Fast and Testimony meeting. The people are beautiful, and as they testify of Jesus Christ in a mix of English and Cebuano, their faces shine.

As each one begins his or her testimony, they begin, "Good Morning, brothers and sisters." Everyone in the congregation responds, "Good Morning." Many of the youth bore their testimonies, and the spirit of missionary work is strong. It seems that each of the youth desire to serve a mission when it is their time. We have 3 sisters and 2 elders working in this area.

This is the church house in Carcar.

This is the road to get to the church.

This is the house directly across the street from the chapel.
