(A Story of Two Siblings)
Kwento ng Magkapatid na Youth
Youth #1
Noong una kong narinig ang Project Mosaic, gustong-gusto kong mag-take part pero di ko alam kung paano. Dumating ang Duathlon pero unfortunately sumabay sa NCAA opening na ni-require sa amin na mag-attend. I asked the Lord why. He told me to wait because this is not the right time yet. I continued to ask God, “What can I do to be part of Project Mosaic?”
Isang gabi tinawag kaming magkakapatid nila Papa at Mama. Pinag-usapan namin ang tungkol sa Conversion Sale. Nag-brainstorming kami kung paano makakatulong. Napagkasunduan na gagawa ng chocolates. Sabi ni Papa pwede kami magbenta ng chocolates sa Conversion Sale. I was so excited! Ito na ang hinihingi kong sagot sa Lord.
From that day on, I started to save money. Instead of taking an FX then a tricycle that would cost P39.00, I opted to take 2 jeepney rides that costs P17. Also instead of buying food at the canteen, I would bring my own baon. For these efforts naka-save ako ng P600.00. Two days before the Conversion Sale, my sister and I bought everything we needed. Once home, we immediately made the chocolates and then called our friends in church to tell them the chocolates are ready for the Sale.
That Saturday, I was excited and nervous at the same time. May bibili kaya ng chocolates? I prayed to the Lord and He told me to wait. So I waited. Little by little customers began to trickle to our booth and bought chocolates. Grabe! Super natuwa ako nang nabenta naming lahat ang mga nagawa namin at binigay namin sa Project Mosaic ang aming kinita. Ang saya-saya ko pag-uwi ko dahil kahit sa maliit na bagay ay nakatulong kami para sa susunod na henerasyon. I thanked the Lord for all the guidance He gave me. From that experience I learned that God always has a purpose. We must trust and believe in Him. Be patient in all things because with God, indeed, nothing is impossible!
Youth # 2
It started when my parents put up a family meeting about the Project Mosaic. They told us about the Conversion Sale. At first, I had no plans of participating. But my parents encouraged us. That night, I prayed and asked Him, “Why should I join? Do I have to do this?” Then God made me realize “Oo nga pala ang calling ko is to serve Him… to join in this project is like serving Him.”
It was August 16 when we started making chocolates for the conversion sale. We finished after 4 hours. Grabe, I couldn’t believe na matatapos namin but God is really good. Hindi Niya kami pinabayaan. The next day we made chocolates again. Nakakatuwa nga kasi na-budget ko ang time ko.
Conversion Sale na. Before going to Mosaic, I prayed first na mabenta iyong chocolates. Astig talaga si Lord. At first, konti pa lang bumubili. I kept praying and later even non-church members bumibili na rin. That day was so tiring but pag-uwi namin gumawa pa kami ng chocolates. Mga 10pm na natapos but God still gave us strength na gumising for church. The second day ng Conversion sale naubos din ang chocolates ! That night I thanked Him. I was happy that God gave me the privilege to take part in that project.
