A Week in the Life of a Missionary!

Look what we found out by our garbage can.....it's NOT a cute little mouse!

Accident with motorcycle and trike.  The man on the motorcycle was hurt quite seriously.
 Jun's shirt says, "Three Amigos- Called to Serve"
They were on their way to take a Sister to the Hospital for her eye surgery when the accident happened.  Ernesto is still struggling to walk.  His left leg was severely bruised.
 Here is another man who was in an accident the same day on his trike.  A jeepney hit him.  He had terrible abrasions on his chest and back.



His wife talked to Sister Medina and they requested a blessing.

This man had an accident and severed two fingers.  He and his son asked us to bless them too.

This sweet mother of a toddler and a baby has breast cancer.


We were able to give her a blessing also.  Sister Franks & Medina, GREAT MISSIONARIES!
