(1156) MUSIC AND ME (Jan. 14, 2016) PMCC NEW YEAR'S DAY LUNCH AT JAPAN-PALAU FRIENDSHIP BRIDGE


After the New Year's Day service at Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) Palau Locale at 10am, the attendees decided to hold lunch at the Koror side of Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge (formerly known as KB Bridge (Koror-Babeldaob Bridge). Roberto Hernandez, left, asked Jeffrey Taoingan, right, to buy ice cream as treat for it's Roberto's 60th birthday the next day (Jan. 02, 2016).


Roberto brought also half of the 13 round fruits that he is collecting every New Year's Eve (for luck). Some brethren brought spaghetti, sweets, rice, chips, ripe mangoes, salad and marinated chicken to be barbecued.





Bro. Ronald of Palau Pacific Resort, left, went with Roberto and Bro. Rolly Adducul in Roberto's car. They went to the Airai side of the bridge when they saw nobody among the brethren and later come back to the Koror side when they saw them about 100 meters away from the other side.



Because of fear that it's not allowed to do barbecue in the place (unfinished bai), the brethren had lunch without the marinated chicken barbecue. But it's more than enough for everybody.





Bro. Louie Edillo and Sis. Malou Paster, who is having ice cream early because it is starting to melt as we don't have cooler to store the ice cream. Bro.Louie and Bro. Rudy Dulatre alternately play Christian songs in their tablet/cell phones that makes the brethren more familiar with the melody and timing of the songs. Many brethren (Sis. Berlin, Bro. Rey Palma, Bro. Ronald, etc. have problem with timing with church songs.



Serve yourselves! Ripe mangoes and other fruits are the first ones to be consumed.


There are people swimming at the other part of the JPFB mostly children while the other still unfinished bai is seen for more convenience to visitors (locals or tourists).
