Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Sunday, October 28, 2012. Maraming Salamat, Ate Pami! Stenciling in our main delivery room. I dropped her off at the airport last night. Touching up in our alternative delivery room. So, when Jane asked if we could go, off we went! All the other kids parroted the first kid. Of course, I had to get a picture with them.these kids, our legacy. These beautiful laughing children. The awesome, photo-loving kids, doing our "wacky" shot. Up to me, "Maraming salamat, Ate Pami! I woke u...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Friday, May 17, 2013. She was born one week overdue, but baby Jennifer weighed only 4lbs, 10oz. Her skin was stained a deep yellow from stress-induced mec intrauterus, her lungs were filled with goopy yellowish-brown mucous and every breath was a struggle. The text on my phone read, "newborn baby in distress, can you come help? Now came baby Jen. Do we even try to transport her? Can we attempt to manage her care at our facility? It was three exhausting days for all of us - mom...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. And he shall be called, "Google.". This is the story of a little boy named, "Google.". Hmmmlet me think about that. ;). Mavis lovingly pokes the cute cheek of Google. Daisy, Google, and me.before the injection. I pleaded with the dad to try to take the baby to the mom so he could get the important antibodies and immune protection from his mom's breastmilk and he promised to try. Baby boy looked 100% better. Praise God! Oh, and his name? Wow You hav...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Sunday, February 26, 2012. I'm sorry, your baby is dead. Those are words no one wants to hear or say. Just last week, a fellow missionary had handed me a brochure with one woman's story of hearing those words. Of praying the ultrasonographer could find a heartbeat. Of hearing the heartbeat of the baby in the next cubicle and praying it was her own baby's. They were words I dreaded to ever have to say. The midwives said no heartbeat.". The mom's eyes were watching me earnestly,...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Tuesday, June 4, 2013. A trip to the Boonies. We are extremely blessed to be able to offer free tubal ligations and vasectomies to our patients this year through partnerships with two organizations: one to pay the $100/patient charge and the other to provide the operations. The results have been astounding as many older moms (as in, over 27y/o) are coming to our clinic for the first time, hoping they can get their tubes tied after they deliver. Home visit at 3 weeks old. I saw...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Monday, September 24, 2012. A Trip to the Bowels of the Earth. My 2010 Christmas card was taken in Divisoria. This truck was trying to navigate the narrow streets. The guy with the stick is lifting up rope that vendors. String across the street in order for the truck to. Cindy perusing some of the options. Diving into the middle to find what we like. That just might have been the most excited I've ever seen this woman! You'll have to wait until it's in the windows! I cannot te...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Monday, May 21, 2012. Why short term missionaries are GOOD for long term missionaries. There's quite the heated debate going in the world of missions right now. Do short term missionaries (STM) cause more harm than good? Part of any STM's stay should be a chance to see the beauty of the country they are visiting. We can't just lambast them with the poverty and difficulties of the culture, even if that's where we spend 99.9% of our time. An LTM should take the oppor...You take ...

Sign-up for Prayer Letters. Sunday, December 18, 2011. Today I lost my perfect attendance score at my regular church to attend a Thanksgiving service at a church in the slums. Oh wait, I was never in the running for that perfect attendance.oops. Anywho, it was a fun and unique morning. I've gotten into discussions with several missionaries about the Philippines love for celebrations. Do churches in the US really celebrate church anniversaries? It was such a neat service with all the different kids' group...
