Hello guys, I am a Filipina and I am based in Thailand at the moment with my fiance because of his business. It's 24th here, and it's Christmas Eve!
At first I thought this would be my saddest christmas because although I am with my fiancee, I am away from my Family... And I don't have much friends here in Thailand.
But God is so good that yesterday we met a Filipino guy, a very nice guy, here for a business trip. This guy happens to have a friend here. A missionary.
Today he introduced us to this friend of his and since they have a mass this afternoon, we decided to join them.
This church is formed by a Filipino group who are living here in Thailand. They have quite a few members. All very friendly people.
After the mass, we made friends with them and did some chatting... They prepared some nice Filipino dishes and we all had dinner together. Made me feel like HOME!
Well I just want to thank God that He brought us to these people and because of them I realized how lucky I am and that I am just so Blessed. (You know sometimes we just forget how blessed we are and we just keep on asking for more instead of appreciating and being thankful for every little thing we have...)
Merry Christmas to everyone!
And to all those people who made me and my fiancee's christmas complete...Thank you guys!
