AWAKENED BY THE NOISE

My family was still sleeping that morning when we were disturbed by the noisy neighbors.  Elmer went over to see what was the problem. Their three year old child was almost to die.  The child was struggling with a terrible stomach ache.  He came back and reported what was happening.  Both of us left our two children sleeping and went over to help the neighbors.

First we prayed.  We first read the Bible. Then we looked in the herbal medicine book and read about  the leaves of guava, star apple, and some others.  We followed the directions.  They said to boil the leaves and let the patient drink the broth.  We prayed and waited. 

After 24 hours, the child was well and began to play again.  We thanked God for the miracle He had done for us in Upper Balambangan.
