YFC meeting at Copenhagen

So far, the vacation has been so much fun. We've gone around Singapore, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. There's so much to tell but I'll do that when I get home.

Pero yesterday, our whole family attended the General Assembly of Couples for Christ in Copenhagen. We met the members of CFC, SFC and YFC.

All of them had joint worship and fellowship. Then we went out for some activities with the YFC members. Talagang international ang YFC kasi pareho sila ng activities sa Philippines. The game we played, Trust walk, was what we did sa YFC GA in Pisay before. Also, the other games they knew were Do You Love Me. Di na nagbago. haha. And like here in the Philippines, mahilig rin sila sa pictures. :)

But we had so much fun. Most of them were Filipinos. Some full, some half. Pero meron ding mga pure Danish. They tried their best to speak in English so we could understand. Some of them even tried speaking in Filipino but they had funny accents bec all of them were already born in Denmark.

ie.
Tobian: Baboy ka.
Alan: Oo.
(laughter)
Alan: (confused)

Tobian: Ano ang pangalan mo?
Meryl: Meryl.
Tobian: (points at Alan) Siya gwapo o pangit?
Meryl: Gwapo.
(everone laughs)
Tobian: Baka aso. (???)
Alan: What?

They were so funny. But during the times they spoke Danish, we still didn't feel like we were out of place.

They made us feel so welcome. My dad always says it but ngayon ko lang siya naramdaman. Kahit sino pang ka community, in this case YFC, kahit first time mo lang nakilala at kahit magkaibang bansa pa kayo, there's a certain bond because of the Christ we all love and serve (parang sa maraming experiences sa Pisay... pero ibang kwento na yun. :D).
