Since things are opening up a bit, there seems to be an influx of baptisms (catching up from things being more restricted before). In the above reports, there are pictures from a Bulan baptism of 24 in Otavi on March 20, a MonteCal baptism of 9 at Jamorawon River on March 5, and a Castilla baptism of 7 on March 4. Plus there was an Irosin baptism of 3 on Feb 6 (see below pics).





And there was a Candumaay Matnog baptism of two young people on Dec 27 (see below pics).

Aftermath of Typhoon Tisoy

Actual path of the eye of the typhoon.
A few hours before it made landfall, it looked like the eye of Typhoon Tisoy was going to pass through Legazpi, just a little to the north of Sorsogon Proivince where PAMI is located. Unfortunately, the eye actually made landfall in Gubat about midnight on Dec 2-3 and passed east to west right through northern Sorsogon Province at category 4 strength (140 miles per hour). It was accompanied by a storm surge of about 10 feet and about 16 inches of rain. It practically went right over EBI in Sorsogon City and Castilla. It greatly affected the whole Province and almost every town where PAMI has ministry. Many places are still without electricity over two and a half weeks later. PenaFrancia and Candumaay Matnog churches were halfway destroyed, and sustained over $500 damage each. EBI had a collapsed classroom cottage and a falling big tree knocked over the property wall and fell on another classroom (denting the corrugated steel roof and breaking rafters). Several other PAMI churches/parsonages had damage as well. Plus there’s probably about a hundred PAMI member homes with damage. Some homes lost roofs, some were flattened, and some were washed away. With water levels coming up to window level, people hoped to save valuables and electronics by placing them on top of tables. Many took refuge in stronger built church buildings and schools. Afterwards, people waded through hip deep water in streets in some areas. Thankfully no PAMI people got hurt, and no one in Sorsogon Province died. However, I read a newspaper article that said four lives were lost in other parts of the Philippines. The following pdf files show a sampling of the damage.
