A team of doctors and other medical professionals from Palawan Adventist Hospital volunteered their time to put on a free medical clinic. What a blessing! The Medical Missionary team had the wonderful experience of working with them, doing hands-on work.

Some of us had a chance to work with the dentist, even pulling teeth! Yes, the patients' mouths were numb.

Another first time experience for the medical missionaries was assisting in surgery. They acted as surgical assistant with many different types of surgery, including cyst removals.

Although some of the surgeries were a bit gruesome, our medical missionary team did a good job assisting the surgeon.

During the evening meetings the medical missionaries presented the health talks. We had a wonderful translator, Pastor Diesta. It was amazing how he could remember every body part that was listed and every illness that was mentioned and then repeat it in Tagalog (the predominant Filipino language).

The health topics covered a wide range of topics, such as teeth, the importance of keeping yourself hydrated, internal parasites, cleanliness, smoking, and diet.

It was a new experience for some of the youth to get up front and speak, but God blessed each person with strength to fight their jittery nerves and speak loudly and clearly.
