National Family Week 2023

National Family Week Kickoff started yesterday. We weren't able to gather at the stake center due to bad weather conditions. So we were expected to do the family week activity this coming week, and I will be happy to do it with my family.

I had a bad sore eye yesterday after I came home from the burial of Tatay Mego, and it seemed like there was something in my eye that irritated it. I try to pull it out, though I don't know if there was something in there. Then suddenly it turns red as fast as it was, and that's it. The sore began.

We will also be having a choir practice, but because of it, I won't be able to join them and conduct the group.

The weather is actually rainy, so they need to hurry to cover the grave.

This was actually taken today.
I posted in some other groups about my current sore eyes
And seems it's getting worse.

And there were still people who did care.

On the other hand, the Family Week Kick-off was also posted in the Facebook Group. So, I need to view it to know how the family week works this month.

Here is the Facebook post on the Official Page of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a yearly activity during September, and everyone is invited.

Kickoff of National Family Week yesterday at the Stake Center.
But it was canceled in Stake Center due to the Bad weather conditions.

Here's the Post for Songwriting and Photo Contests with the theme “We can build forever families through Christ.” - https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0YNsbPx6gV9XW7ty3upiUnQKNvnMN2c1dFFzqPqtk2kzmWug8E7uo1wSBEopF3FkRl&id=100070286480481&mibextid=Nif5oz

Also, I'm still grateful to have had an opportunity to serve yesterday during the burial service. Such a simple thing, and I heard words that made me cry from the people who were close to Tatay Lazaro Mego.

During the program, I played the piano and played the songs that Tatay Lazaro requested. His request was - 

• Help me teach with inspiration
• I'll go where you want me to go
• God be with you, 'til we meet again

It's a privilege to have a small moment with Tatay Lazaro Mego in his final rest. After all, it's the reason why I filed a leave of absence just to serve him in the Church, and I'm happy about it.
