We Arrived Home

Dear Friends, Family and Benefactors,

The Mary Our Queen Missionaries arrived safely home last night. We want to thank you all for  your prayers and financial support for this mission trip. It is only through you that we were able to do this mission. It's hard to put to words what we all experienced but it was profound. It's a bit weird to be home again and to start to think about going back to work and getting back to our "normal" lives. We know we are different than when we went down to Honduras but trying to figure out how to live our daily lives since our mission trip is challenging.

On Friday, the Friars took us for a hike in a cloud forest Panacam National Forest. It was a peaceful day of fellowship and beauty. Once we arrived, the whole group hiked to a waterfall and we ate a  picnic lunch.

After that, the group split up. Some continued to hike the whole loop (it was either 5 kilometers or 5 miles...not sure but it was long) and some went back and enjoyed a peaceful afternoon being together and watching the hummingbirds flutter about.  After the hike we stopped at a lake and had a fish dinner.

Please pray for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal http://franciscanfriars.com/ and all of their work they do.
