5th Day of Medical
Mission Sinag Kalinga (Home of the Aged)
Today was a much needed change of pace. We were extremely blessed to meet some precious orphans. The Home of the Aged is a home for the
elderly who have no family and no money to take care of themselves.We heard the amazing story of Cindy whose
heart was broken after meeting an elderly man who was homeless with no one to
take care of him. As a result, she gave
her life to taking care of the elderly that are orphaned. We spent time interacting with them while Dr.
Jeff and Dr. Argel gave each one a check-up.
Because of Bernal’s generosity, we were able to give a monetary gift to
the home as we left.
We then headed to the floating restaurant where we feasted on ox and pig
face which included ground up brains, ears, and snout. For those who were a little less adventuress
there was plenty of fish and chicken. After being serenaded by a Filipino mariachi band we headed home for
several hours of siesta.
Our evening included Nanette sharing her testimony after making bead
jewelry and free time in the gym. We
also spent time listening to the kids recite Jude 24 & 25. Pastor Steve had challenged each child at
Sankey to memorize this passage with an ice cream sundae party in our dorm for
those that do. We ended the night with
lots of hugs from the children and great expectations of what God will do
tomorrow.
