On Our Way to Sunday School

..

We have an assignment from the president of the Quezon City Mission to attend Church meetings each Sunday at a branch. Since about August 2008 we have attending the Biningonan Branch. Our assignment is just to be a resource for them. We are told not to “take over,” nor do we have any ecclesiastical authority. If they ask, we help as we can. This branch is about 16 miles (26 kilometers) southeast of where we live. It takes at least one hour to get there. The roads are all two-way streets, some fairly narrow and always crowded with traffic and people, especially on Sundays because that’s when the street markets are opened. So we thought it would be interesting for you to take the drive with us. We have learned to deal with the traffic fairly well. Many of the intersections are “free-for-all,” meaning there is no stop sign or right-of-way. Whoever goes first has the right-of-way. This scene below is a mild “free-for-all” intersection. Some take 10 minutes to get through.

But, just as we’ve suspected from the very beginning, we finally found out how come the driving is like it is. They have classes for it.

There are a lot of markets along the streets, especially when you get out of the down-town area. You can probably get whatever you need for Sunday dinner at the street markets. Some vegetables.

Some nice fruit.

And what would Sunday dinner be without a roasted goat?
