First Email from Manila (MRC)

Hey mom! just wanted to let you know that I made it safely to Manila and I'm here in the MRC next to the Manila MTC. Its like a place of recovery for missionaries here in the Philippines. There are 8 of us here (4 sisters and 4 elders.) There are 2 of us here from the Olongapo mission so at least I know someone.  But everyone’s pretty nice, it’s just weird because most of them are getting a medical release and are excited to go home while I’m here and just waiting to get the okay to go back to Olongapo haha. 

I had 2 appointments yesterday at St Luke’s and it was really helpful. I go back for a couple more tests on Monday I think to rule out some last possibilities.  But I really feel like I wont get sent home so I’m excited about that.  Well, I can email again tomorrow but they just wanted me to email and let you know that I’m ok :) love you and talk to you soon! :)

love,

Sister Lowe

Jessica is Relocated to Manila

Jessica called Friday night to let us know that she is going to Manila on Saturday to see the neurologist and cardiologist there.

She sounded upset - at first we were excited for her to be going to see some specialist so that we could get some answers, but then she told us that she has to take everything with her in case she has to come home from there.  She was in tears because she wouldn't get to say good bye to all the people she's met and come to love while serving in Olongapo.

I told her she is going to be fine!  We looked about both worst case and best case scenario, and in both cases it will okay!  It will be God's will and we hope to soon find out what His plan for her is.

Bother Morrison or Brother Ferrin drove her to Manila where she is staying at the Missionary Recovery Center (MRC) right next to the Manila MTC.  She was seen by both a cardiologist and a neurologist on Saturday early evening.  It is amazing that they took the time to see her then.  This first appointment was just a consultation.  She goes back on Tuesday for tests and results.
