Emergency Communications, PMS & PNA What do you think of the PNAGKC and its members? 1. A trustworthy organization with great variety of home cooked food at is parties! 2. They are my family. Why do you go to PI? I go because of the rewards I receive. Like when 7 year old Bernardo Sais placed his hand in mine and said "Last year, I had a cleft lip surgery… this year, a cleft palate surgery. Next time you are here, I will come and visit you to show how well I look and can speak." Greatest challenge as a missioner to PI? Trying not to eat or drink something that will make me ill. Greatest joy/experience as a missioner to PI Wondering what words to use for: Father- tried to give me his only chicken to pay for the surgery done on his daughter Daughter -brought her father for cataract surgery knowing we could help him but not having the time to do so. I had to watch her cry for her dad. Father wanted to name his newborn son in my honor for the work we had done on the mission. |
