Dear Friends, Family and Benefactors,

It's hard to believe that the week is almost finished. We all have had an amazing experience on this mission trip to Honduras. We have seen and experienced many moving moments that are to difficult to put into words.

Yesterday, we all went to the aldea and had Mass with the children and families that we had served all week. Especially the work team was moved by the happiness and joy that the Hondurans had. David M said that when we knelt at the consecration, on the dirt floor, he got a whiff of cow manure. At first he was a bit put off by it until he realized that this was the type of environment that Jesus was born into. It was humbling.

Today we had Mass early and headed for an outing to the waterfalls. It was a lot of fun being together and seeing God's beauty. Tonight is our annual talent (or lack of talent) show.

We have a very early start tomorrow (5:30 am Mass) and will head to the airport at 7:00. We arrive to Atlanta tomorrow at 6:00 pm. Although we are looking forward to coming home, each of us is a bit sad to leave Honduras.

Thank you all for making this possible for us to come on this mission trip.

God bless,The Mary Our Queen Mission Team
