The Best Wedding Anniversary Ever!
December 23, 2017 marked our 7th Wedding Anniversary! On December 23, 2010, I married the man of my dreams. I still remember that day when I walked down the aisle marrying the man I love. It was indeed a beautiful occasion filled with joy as we shared our vows in front of our families and friends. It pays to be patient!
To my dearest Langga, Antonee Leo Aguilar I just want you to know how much I love you! You always showered me with love. Your dedication to serve God is such a blessing to my life. I will always support you in your ministry as we continue to serve the Lord together. Words can’t express how blessed I am to have you in my life! You are a gift from heaven. I love you with all my heart!
We are forever grateful to our Heavenly Father who never failed to love us despite of who we are. Thank you so much Lord for your goodness to us. You blessed us in so many ways! We give you the glory and honor forever and ever!

Last Sabbath we did not only celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary but we also celebrated the goodness of God as we witnessed 10 precious souls who accepted Jesus as their Personal Savior through Baptism. What makes our 7th year anniversary special? It was because of the wonderful people who made it extra special. It happened that our 7th anniversary was on Sabbath and it was a day to celebrate the goodness of our God. I also had the privilege of speaking the whole week for the Women's Ministries Evangelistic Meeting at Morton Grove SDA Church.
We can't begin to describe how much we appreciate the beautiful flowers, gifts, warm wishes with exactly 27 beautiful cards we received from our Morton Grove Family.
I would like to thank our dearest Morton Grove Church Family …another family in a foreign land. Thank you for accepting us as part of your family. The flowers, the beautiful cards with beautiful wishes and prayers for both of us, the hugs, the checks and the cash, and of course the sacks of rice, the bangus, and galongong and many more to mention…..oh, how can we ever thank you for your generosity. May the Good Lord bless you and shower you with His abundantly blessings.
Kindly accept our deepest appreciation for being so thoughtful and loving. Ate Hazel, thank you for putting all those beautiful cards together and for the beautiful journal and also Mimie for distributing all the cards to everyone.

SALAMAT KAAYO sa INYONG GUGMA UG KAAU. We hope to see you again this Sabbath if the weather permits. We have so many things to be grateful for. Last night while we were driving home, the 2.5 hours drive became 8 hours on the road with several stops and we drove with an average speed of 10-20 miles per hour because the road was so slippery and dangerous. We’ve witnessed so many cars landed on the ditch, van skidding off the road, it was zero visibility but God preserved our lives last night and we arrived home almost 12 midnight. God spared our lives. We saw several cars in front and behind us landed on the ditched and got stuck on the side of the road. It was our first snow storm experience. We can’t do anything to help but we prayed that someone will come to their rescue. God indeed is so gracious to us. Thanks for our prayer warriors who prayed for our safety while driving home!
Antonee & Girlie Zunega-Aguilar
