Chapter Twenty-nine[ The Tourists] The climate in San Diego is completely different and in contrast to the weather in the Philippines. The mother and children require more wrappings like onions on that first night. Rudolf has peace with his family even though there are upcoming problems that have yet to be resolved about the mountain people who rarely attack the villagers. Rhoda has to prepare their supper, and Aunt Chels is unable to manage the house properly due to her old age and the trauma she received from the disasters. But now, she has gained strength with the arrival of her nephew, and she can sleep peacefully on her bed tonight. She just took her piece of bread and butter with hot tea, and she quickly left the family at the table after kissing the two lovely children. Rhoda appears to be amazingly surprised by a Philippine hangover as a result of Rudolf's same affectionate and romantic love
Chapter Thirty[Lovers of nature] One of the most unexpected messages came from the suffering Christians of San Diego, California, who were victims of disasters. Rudolf and Rhoda intentionally opened the old lock door of his parents' barn in the backyard. Unexpectedly, they found the letters for his dead parents in the dusty, old, and molded boxes of the storeroom while he checked out what was left after the disasters. "Come Honey, let me show you my family tree history." Rudolf invited Rhoda because Robert had arrived and Ruth had to accompany them. He began reading the letter from a North Korean Christian missionary. At this difficult time for Wagner, we are praying for you. We beg God to give you peace-loving members of the families, whose children have God-fearing hearts, and may you overcome grief and anguish. Our hearts are with you in your anguish." Rudolf perceived his old parents' past great trib
Chapter Thirty-one[The settlers] Rudolfs' native land included not only the first European settlements in California but the entire west coast of the United States. As the best city, the city is distinguished by its history, population, skyline, food, and a few other factors.Rudolf is awake early that morning, and Rhoda asks, "Where are you going now, honey?" "We need some home electrical equipment for house repairs, cooking utensils, and foods, so I need to go to the public market," Rudolf explains. "Then I stop by grocery stores for our basic necessities." He added. "Would you like to come along and explore with our kids?" "Rudolf inquires. "It sounds good!" I wanted to accompany you wherever you went! " Rhoda smiles."Okay, fit yourself with our children, and I'll prepare our car," Rudolf instructs. Aunt Chel volunteers to join them in the car so they can travel as a family. As they travel along the long highway, th
Chapter Thirty-two[The unfinished tasks] It's a very cool day. After breakfast, Rudolf and Rhoda went around the house first to customize the area. "Rudolf was still a child when he first stay in this house," Aunt Chel said smiling at him as she talked to Rhoda who gathered weeds and dried leaves around the backyard. Rudolf can't move his legs quickly because of the previous accident with a madman in the public market. "I'll make sure that your pain fades gradually, Honey," Rhoda says as she turns to Rudolf sitting on the rocky chair. She had just finished clearing out the weedy backyard and picking up some apples and oranges from the fruit trees." "Good you found it. It's a long time that I never checked our backyard because of the snakes that might be coiled and crawling around the weedy garden shades," Aunt Chel says. "Take some fruits for Auntie Chels to eat!" " Rhoda adds, "And also for you to eat Honey. It's healthy for your painful legs." She add
Chapter Thirty-three[Winter days] Little Robert enjoys watching the falling ice flakes as they reach the icy crystal surface of their front house. The howling wind that night seems a refreshing sound for an exhausted, weary mind after a whole day of planning and discussing steps and strategies to find solutions to unfinished tasks of the gold old days before winter arrives. "We can foresee the number of tasks but are unable to start because winter comes ahead before we act honey," Rhoda says after supper that night. Rudolf began to think it over many times quietly while Rhoda breastfeed her infant beside him on their bed. Robert can't move because he's adjusting to the cold winter and he has to try all at once how to overcome the shivered sensation. "You know Honey, I remember a long time ago when I was still a young guy and it's also winter days." Rudolf began to tell a story of his youth. "The moment that I reach the
Chapter Thirty-four[The overcomers] There would be a great awakening, and the family would realize the value of spiritual strength in overcoming all difficulties and conflicts in life. "We're going to study in Bible school here, honey?" Rhoda inquires of Rudolf as they eat breakfast that early morning. "What's the harm? And that was our purpose in life when we went to the city," he added, "but because my lawyer reminded me of my obligation as a US national, I should return here immediately." Rudolf quickly narrates and apologizes, saying, "I should settle it before it's too late," recalling, "You and our children's citizenship here should be settled right away, Honey; you better be ready now and we go to the Immigration office." He abruptly decided as he finished his bread and drank the last drop of coffee from his mug. Rhoda quickly followed him as he stood up and left the dining table.Aunt Chel was surprised by Rudolf's urg
Chapter Thirty-five[The Armor] It's a cool, foggy Sunday morning, and the family gets up early to eat breakfast, get dressed, and rush to the car. "Come on, we might be late for worship!" Rudolf exclaims, Sighing and still shaky from the foggy cold weather, "I'm still sleepy, daddy," Robert grumbles. "Do you want to stay here alone, son?" "I know you only want me to carry you because you want to play sweetie," Rhoda asks seriously as she tries to carry him in full arms. "Anyway, sweetie pie, I'm not wondering why you like that. You are only three years old and still young to run in a rush hour," Rhoda teases as she asks aunt Chel to get Ruth so that she can carry Little Robert. Many believers continue to arrive at the church. Ptr Kris quickly recognizes them as he welcomes them inside. Robert leaps and wishes to be guided by her mother's hand."Aunt Chel, please give me my little girl, and thank you for your help," Rhod
Chapter Thirty-six[ Wayward souls] "The voices carried by howling wind continue day and night. Sadly, the homelessness is probably never going to end." Rhoda says as they eat their breakfasts this early foggy, cool morning in Rural North San Diego. "The homeless problem in San Diego is absolutely out of control, especially during this time of the pandemic." Rhoda adds, "Most businesses establishment and commercial companies temporarily close their operations." "We only need to be good stewards, even though we are affected by their situations, honey," Rhoda suggests as they become increasingly concerned about the homeless problem. "I have been informed by some school teachers and principals to report all the chaos in our areas to authority," Rudolf says. "But sometimes, not it's beneficial for the homeless, especially those younger people like girls, because they have the possibility of being raped by the other h
