Here I am holding one of the largest beetles in the world – I’m not sure of the name but it could be a Hercules beetle. An yes, it is alive.
Dear Westside Family,
I am now in the middle of my YWAM DTS Outreach in the Philippines. It’s been an amazing experience!
As I write this I am on the island of Palawan for a couple days of rest after four intense days of a heavy medical outreach.
Here are a bunch of recent photos of my adventures with my team! Enjoy and thank you all so much for your support and prayers!

Here I am holding one of the largest types of beetle in the world! I think it's a Hercules beetle. And yes, it is still alive while I'm holding it!

Every day we would hop in our van at 8 a.m. so we could drive to the different baranguys (communities) for the medical outreach.

Here we are dancing with a soldier mascot for the Philippine Marines - Sargent Cuatro,. We got to work with him, the Marines, and the Coast Guard all this week!

Me and Brooklyn were totally exhausted on the last day and our teammates finally managed to sneak some pictures of us looking tired.

What can I say, the kids around here love stickers! And I had only sat down for a couple minutes - and they covered me with them!

The mountains here are beautiful, and this is the view that I would often see while having my breakfast.
