Hope of Heaven Chronicles

Hope of Heaven is a Bible study series for urgent cases...we visited a distant relative of a disciple in this small neighborhood island in Catanauan, Quezon.It is surrounded by the sea on the North and by lake on the South.We went on the south side.It takes two and a half hour travel by van : ) you need to request for a stop over if you need to pee.They usually stop at a gasoline station 30 mins from Lucena which is Shell if your coming back from Catanuan ,and 30 minutes before Catanauan,if your coming from Lucena,which is a small gas station that I can't remember.So you can pee 30 mins before the destination ,not in the middle of the travel,otherwise you'll have to knock on houses or pee in the middle of nowhere if you cannot hold it in : )

View from the bridge - a small neighborhood with about 200 families.You need to ride a boat from Brgy 1 to get to the other side.

Welcome food- sweet deserts of fruit salad,macaroni salad,jelly, Leche Flan and soda
