    You always care about your fans. Proud of you, proud to be your fan.

    David, I keep watching this sweet little “vignette.” I can’t get over your thoughtfulness toward your fans, how you’ve thought ahead to how we will feel when you’re gone. You knew we’d miss you something fierce, and you knew it’d be hard for us, and so you took so much time and gave so much loving thought to ways to keep connected and ways to continue giving to us. I don’t know why we are so deserving, but I hope you know how much we appreciate it! You are such a blessing in my life, your music I could NOT live without, and I am grateful for all that you’ve done. One more thing, did you REALLY crack your back at 1:22?! haha It sounded like it! ;)

    Hi David,It is soo neat to see your video vlog of the past you made(while in the Philippines filming of Nandito Ako)for us to watch in the future which is now.How cool is that!

    Thanks for thinking way ahead to make a vlog of your thought about your future challenge in life being away from your family and friends while on mission.You are absolutely right that life experiences do help us grow emotionally, personally and spiritually. you are such an admirable young man with a mind way beyond your years to have a deep understanding of our goal in life. I would like to think that each and everyone of us do strive to attain some kind of goal in life either to fulfill our dreams or to find inner peace and contentment by either serving others or something. I think it will be awesome to see what you become after 2 years lol! One thing for sure, I can assure you that even though you are temporarily out of our normal life as you put it,we are always here quietly following you,praying for your health and safety while in a far away
    place doing what you love.

    Thanks again David for the video vlog of the past which we watched at the present,hope you will be able to read all the replies in the future which is two years from now lol:))
    Seriously thou, hope there will be more of your vlog to come
    to keep everyone connected in some way with you.

    Sorry, I am abviously rambling haha…Take care David:):):)>

    THanks for the blog David and for all you have done to keep us connected to you while away ! I know you hada lots on your mind before you left and some of that was fear but I’m sure it’s all gone now . Your family nor you fans will ever move on without you. And we are excited to meet the person you become. You will be the same person ,just with even stronger values and more happiness to share. Thank you for everything. You are my inspiration.
