Final Day

Dear Friends, Family and Benefactors,

As our final day here in the mission, the construction crew (which today was only Br Dismas, Paul and Matthew) put up chicken wire on inside of the house to prepare it to put stucco on it.

They bought 15 bags of cement to use to stucco the house. Each bag weighed about 80 pounds

The others went to the Missionaries of Charity house. They take care of elderly men who have no one to take care of them (they call them the abuelos) and women and children with HIV or AIDS. We went there to play and visit with them this morning.

In the afternoon, Fr Francis Mary took us into the city of Comayagua to see the Cathedral and walk around the town square.

Tonight, some of the Friars and local people are having a special dinner (paella) along with 34 people who are serving with the Missioners of Christ) for us as well as a music extravaganza with Br Dismas, Ben, our long-time friends Wilmer, his sister Deena, and Cecilia.

We leave very early for the airport tomorrow.

We are tired but happy. Once again, thank you for your continual support!

God bless, The Mary Our Queen Mission Team
