MY TRIP TO TEXAS JULY 15-20, 2003 AS A DELEGATE TO STEWARDSHIP TRAINING
My Trip To Texas July 15-20, 2003
By Amado I. Yoro
Introduction:
As a member of the Commission on Stewardship of the Diocese of Hawaii, I am one of the 3 delegates from the Commission being Mary Schultz, Charlotte Holmes and myself, to the “Inventing the Wheel 2003” at the Camp Allen, Navasota, Texas.
This is the continuation of my training last year in Washington DC.
My departure:
Hurricane Claudette is posted in Texas
July 15, 2003 Tuesday. At 12:15 pm, Cheryl Lei dropped me off to the airport. American Airlines counter.
I said “be safe and careful” to Lei, and we parted.
By 12:45 pm, I already checked in my baggage. My Flight is #8. Boarding time at 4:05 Group 4 Seat 26A.
While I was at the waiting area, I read a book: “How To Mobilize Church Volunteers” by Marlene Wilson. With interest, I found out the there is no need to be perfect in terms of leadership. If someone tries to be perfect, then, he/she is a fool. “as a perfectionist, you are your own problem, a worst enemy (page 94) and you probably you are not much fun to work with either.
William James once observed that the art of being wise is knowing to overlook. Perhaps other people might even do better job than you do, then you can learn from them instead from you (page 85)
About 3:35 pm, Mary Schultz and Charlotte Holmes arrived.
By 3:50pm, “Attention passengers to Dallas, Texas, form a line now and you will be called by groupings, Gate 20”
From George Bush InterContinental Airport, Houston, Mr. John Cogan picked us up by a Van, and drove us to Camp Allen. According to him, it took about 1 hr and 30 minutes drive, in about 80 miles away.
I took a nap while riding towards the Camp Allen. When I opened my eyes after so many minutes, it is now the Camp Allen entrance as shown by the corner of the intersection. And a few more minutes, we are now entering the camp, green with towering pine trees.
A minute more, then, I was able to see the buildings, then, stop, then, to the Registrtion desk. Sign up a card now 10 am July 16 Texas time (5am Hawaii time). Two people greeted us and they are Terry Parson and Mike Burke. I was assigned to an H23 room.
I proceeded to the room It has 2 beds. I tried to call back home but my cellphone did not work. I made a coffee. I took a bath/shower. I took a nap.
I went to eat. Met Frank Embree from Hawaii and Terry Parson. I went to the All Saint’s Chapel. It was a big, huge, spacious facility. According to brochures, the chapel has more than 700 seats. I pray.
Dinner time: I stayed on the same table with Bill Wrenn, Susan Brown, both from North Carolina Diocese, Rev. Michael Burke, Alaska.
Inusarko ti Internet. And I called home. I talked to my daughter Cheryl Lei, and I found that my wife Gloria has just got home from her graduation ceremony received her CNA certificate.

Being an active member of my congregation, I said, in response to Fr. Randy [Albano], and as I’ve heard Isaiah 6:8: Whom Shall I Send”,,, and I said: Here I am”

Filipino Convocation Meeting #2.
Fr. Bayani Rico was reelected as Convener; and Fr. Ray Bonoan, was elected Co-Convener; while Ashlee Witte, was elected secretary [young-adult]
I was able to connect myself to Mr. Donald V. Romanik, President of the Episcopal Church Foundation, who spoke before the group. ECF, offers grant and transformational ministry; help non-profit organization
Motion was presented by the Young Adult Group, and adopted by the convocation to send five youth representatives to EAM in Taiwan on June 6-9, 2007.
Motion also was presented that Filipino Convocation will make a side-trip to Manila, and stay for 4-5 days before heading to Taiwan, or vice versa.; after the Taiwan Consultation.
The Closing Eucharist was held for the closing.
NEXT CONSULTATION VENUE: TAIWAN, BISHOP DAVID LAI – HOST: “You are welcome to our small town but interesting place”
What did I learn here and brought home:
Enabled me to refine my personal, professional and spiritual outlook
Enabled me to integrate, connect and communicate with others
Enabled me to utilize my time: voluntary and joyfully
Enabled me to work, communicate with others respectful manner
Enabled me to experience how to work with compassion; and learned how to avail, prioritize, offer and take action as needed to achieve things in common goal. Remain humble as I grow with HIM for a deeper understanding and love
Success rely and depend in our commitments, action and deed, not necessarily what we think, or what we say.
Recommendations from me:
Number 1. Leaders of the church, group, community should consider to give priority, flexibility and time to certain conference, consultation, workshops/seminar in upgrading our knowledge in Christian leadership.
Number 2. Besides the BC is represented, 3 legs should resume going for representation
Number 3. Youth Development must continue; and do more participative role
Agyamanak manen Appo. Thank you again.
