Hear Edwina Gateley's Powerful Mission Challenge Given at our Faith Promise Dinner 2008
|
UNIVERSITY MISSION TO THE PHILIPPINES JANUARY 1 - 11, 2009 After 24 hours we landed in Manila, slept for a few hours, and then headed for Bacolod. We were met by Bella Alacapa and a bus provided by St. LaSalle University. We were taken to the home of Nordy DiPloma, a local attorney with offices in Manila. We were treated to a gourmet dinner prepared by a master chef from New York. I warned the team that this was not what to expect in the days ahead. We stopped at the Retreat House and left our bags there. We then went to meet with Bishop Vincente Navarro. As usual the Bishop was very gracious and welcoming. Bobby Magalona also joined us.The next day we begin our routine that was to be for the next week. Rise at 6:30, Mass, followed by breakfast and packing of lunches (peanut butter & jelly) and off to the site by 8:30 where we stayed until 5 p.m. The first few days Bella had secured a jeepney but then St. LaSalle provided a bus (all of which we paid for) Bella was unbelievable she would grocery shop for us and loaned us a coffee pot and toaster. The retreat house had a small refrgerator and purified water. It was 90+ each day and very humid but I was relieved that we did not get the week of rain that had been predicted. read more
