(Our home for the month, where everyone has about 6 inches of personal space, if that.)
(Our yard, where another few families live, breed chickens and feed their young.)
(The kids here are so precious, I love them.)
(Shortly after mourning the loss of my old kitten Shiloh, Carlo, our host of the house brought back another fluffy furball from the streets, we named her Carla, after Carlo, having her, and the blue chickadee in my life everyday has brought lots of laughter and smiles, thank you so much Carlo for the lovely gift.)
(Practicing Caroling and scaring the kids watching at the door.)
(I put facial masks, Mint Julip if you must know, on everyboday, yay for spa day!)
(Mommy Thelma, our hostess and mom of the house making dinner for the young adult Christmas party, she's an amazing woman full of love and Filippina hospitality.)
(We are caroling at churche families, and Mayor's office, here we are praying for the Mayor of Cainta, who welcomed us to his city, and thanked us for living with the hardship of San Buena area.)
(Team Shiloh with the Mayor, and our contacts for the month, right after we caroled to the Mayor and prayed with him.)
Our ministry this month isn't much, it's attending Bible studies for the Cells Alive church, sharing our testimonies, doing relationships, and caroling to raise money for the organic garden and community drug prevention project. The church members were inspired that foreign missionaries like us are staying in the slums, something they can't even do themselves. I urge you, church goers to live among the poor, to stay at the cold shelters, to visit and stay with a family, do something uncomfortable just for one day, because that speaks more than what you actually give or do for the poor, by just being with them, and living with them.
