Spent the entire day helping where we can.Lily went to Manila with some other Sister Missionaries while gave the Tagacay family a ride to the cemetary for the grave dedication and burial.Again it was a different experience but it was ok. The deceased are actually buried above ground here in a cement tomb. It's almost like an apartment building- 4 compartments high and hundreds long.After I got back from the burial I picked up Lily and we went to the hospital in Trece to pick up Sister Cielos, the lady with the heart problems. When we got there the staff wouldn't let her go because the doctor hadn't signed her prescription.So we made the trip for nothing and they had to pay for there own transportation later on that night after the doc came back in. At least now she's back home but she is not cured and the meds she's on cost 100 pesos per day - her husband only makes 450 per day and it costs him 150 pesos to get to work.We are working to help her; we are certain she needs to see a specialist and likely needs some kind of surgery.We are grateful that we have been able to be of some help and pray we can find ways to continue to assist.Its' wonderful to be here and serve- there certainly is lots to do.
