Why come on mission?

As we spent the day (Kathryn, Mary, Elizabeth and me, Patti) doing home visits and Cenacolo (the lunch program), we couldn't help but have compassion for the children and the families we met. There is a beautiful simplicity and joy in the Hondurans.

 Fr Felix said at Mass that we need to figure out our identity, who we are. Once we figure out that we are sons and daughters of God, we would then see everyone as our brothers and sisters in the Lord. The more we figure our identity, the stronger our passion is to serve others.

The plates, cups, utensils and napkins are all at the children's height so they can serve themselves
