Dedication through Adversity
Wendy:
Eric's departure
Here we are in Manila again, but not for much longer. Dwayne is doing the dirty work of going into the smoggy city every day doing business while I'm enjoying a cooler, more comfortable time at my parents' home, getting some work done also. We came out with Eric (Dwayne's brother) since he was [...]

Wendy:
Miracle in Manila
It's been an exciting few weeks. First of all we went to Manila to do some errands and it was so nice to be "home" again with my parents for a little while. One of the biggest reasons for going to Manila was to pick up some medicine we were ordering from a [...]
The work goes on
Wendy:
Expansion/Bible studies growing
First of all praise God for the expansions in the work here in Palawan. God opened up the way last Sabbath to add another Bible study group in the area near our land and we have both Bible studies and children's programs led by local SDA church members now. THEN, we just found [...]
Change is good
Wendy: It's a monumental occasion. My mountain life days are coming to an end. It's with mixed emotions to leave my life of 5 years in my quaint bamboo/grass roof hut, in the beautiful mountainous, peaceful setting. I am very excited about this new life and our growing ministry, though, I cannot deny it, but [...]
News from the New Year
Dwayne: These last few weeks have been eventful for us. The day before Christmas we went up to Puerto to take care of a few things, and then on Christmas day Wendy's parents flew down from Manila to visit. We drove a little ways north on Palawan and across the island to Port Barton. It [...]
Busy busy
Wendy: What a busy time of year even over here, far from the holiday rush of the civilized world. It's been an exhausting but fulfilling and adventure-filled week.
We just finished a week of mobile clinics with health talks and Bible stories in some remote AFM and PFM projects. We had a volunteer Filipino doctor with [...]
Feeling better
Dwayne: Since the last post I had to take a second malaria treatment because the last one did not cure me completely. I was not sure if the second one worked but after much prayer the Lord gave me relief and I am still feeling good.
Eric also came down with malaria and is just getting [...]
Malaria again and PFM trip
Dwayne: I am recovering from the worst malaria episode that I have had. It started 4 days ago. I had close to 104 degree temps a lot of the time. Part of why it lasted so long was I was trying some natural stuff (Demol) that you spray under the tongue at certain intervals. It [...]
Helicopter excitement; training new nurses
Dwayne: God has been good to us these past weeks. I finally got our flat-bed trailer finished and made a back bumper for our pickup so we can pull the trailer. Wendy has been training the new student missionaries into the clinic.
I had an interesting Sunday a week ago. I had to take a seriously [...]
Thwarted theft
Dwayne: An eventful month has passed since we sent out our last email update. When Tod was over here we had bought some parts for building a trailer. We had four leaf springs and a couple of axles I had put out back of our apartment and someone decided to run off with the leaf [...]
