We are heading up north to San Jose on the island of Mindoro. We met two wonderful people, Linda Fernandez, a retired neonatal intensive care resuscitation nurse- that's a mouthful- hope I said it right! She goes around the different islands teaching this course at her own expense. This is a required course for nurses and paramedics in the US, and she is sharing it with the nurses in her beloved Philippines. Linda has been in the US for years working at Kaiser Permanente running this program and supervising nurses.
Sonny Gordovez is a retired telecommunications consultant for AT&T and had several financial planning, securities, insurance offices in Southern California. Both were raised on Mindoro and have the Montesa Foundation that has been formed to help the people on the Islands of Mindoro and Ilin.
They have several properties that they want to be used for ministry and are talking to Pastoral Training of Asia about working together to make that happen. Donny and Shayla are working with PTA.
We stayed at a lovely hotel owned by Edith Park called the White House- the grounds are immaculate and gorgeous- and it sits on a beautiful beach that goes on forever - we finally got our beach walk!
