Dear Friends, Family and Benefactors,

Last night, the team helped the Friars with their food distribution. Each month the govenment gives the Friars rice, beans, salt, lard, and soap. They have 144 families on the list that come on the first Monday of the month.

Today was our last working day. The work projects are finished and look great, and the Adventures in Faith did their last day of the program. This afternoon, Fr Richard and Fr Dye concelebrated the Mass at 5:00 pm in the aldea with the children and families and our whole team. It was an interesting Mass because just as the Mass started, the rain came. The problem with that is that the church roof is not finished so we had to move the altar to one side and not stand in the middle of the church. It just added to the whole atmosphere.

This morning during our prayer time, Br Miguel said that it wasn't as important to accomplish lots of things but rather how we are as a person when accomplish it.

Tomorrow the team is going on an outing to the waterfalls.

We have been praying for all of you each day and thank you for your support. It's been an amazing mission trip.
