Terne, Andrei Vhon

In our final Pastoral Integration, we take part in cleaning the GKK chapel and the
area around it. Which is filled with trash as the Chapel is near beside the gym , so it is
expected that the place would be trashed. And one of the GKK officials said that last
night there was an activity/event held in their barangay gym so that is why
garbage/trash is spread in different areas of the gym and near the chapel. So that is
why we took the initiative to clean the place up, as we decided/planned it together with
my group and block mates.

But of course, before doing the cleaning sessions, we first ask for permission to
the GKK president, if we can also clean the chapel itself. Luckily, they happily agreed,
and after doing that we decided and planned on what things to do to clean the place up.
Together the bond is strong, it is easy to do things accordingly, we do things separately
which makes the work faster. We picked up the trash, segregated the bin, pulled the
weeds, cleaned the railings of the chapel, and others. It brings much joy and fulfillment
doing the cleaning with the initiative to take part in it.

Doing all those things do really makes me happy, as taking part in this Pastoral
Integration do brings realization and experiences that all must do/experience. As by
integrating love, unity is accomplishable, which is evident in our initiative to do the
things in planning to clean up the areas near the chapel, and the chapel itself. Uniting
do makes things easily done, which makes the job done accordingly to what is planned.

In overall, I would say that I have learnt a lot from having this experience, from
the day we planned it to the success of our Pastoral Integration. Which truly I learned
and realized a lot of things in taking part in the Pastoral Integration. But of course, it is
not just because of the Pastoral Integration or the place we integrated that should be
put in importance in cleaning. But rather all of life here on earth should be put
importance with, as we the stewards of God, should take the initiative to take full
responsibility in our actions.
