On Saturday afternoon we went to the Manila City Cemetery. In the cemetery there is a huge population of people that live right there on and in the graves and the tombs. Monty and Lorenda were even able to pray for a woman that they had visited on their previous trip. The cemetery is surrounded by a 20 foot concrete wall. Of course there is a main entrance but there are also steep staircases that scale the wall that the unofficial cemetery residents use. On the other side of the thick walls near one of the staircase entrances there is a very poor neighborhood that has a vibrant, colorful and friendly neighbors. We played music for them at the local church which was just holding it's second meeting.
