A Reflection

Dear Friends, Family and Benefactors,

It's been just over a week since we have returned from our mission trip to Comayagua, Honduras. In many ways, we are all settling back into our lives but none of us are the same. Each one of the 31 missionaries have been touched in many ways that has forever changed us. In addition, not only are we changed but each of the lives that we came across is also different. All of this has only been made possible through your generosity of prayers and financial support. From all of us, thank you.

Also from Christiane, a consecrated woman who gave up her vacation to help us out had this to say:

Mature, responsible teenagers do exist! I just spent a week with several of them in Honduras. The boys and girls that joined the adults and families for a week of service and mission in the small villages of Honduras gave an impressive testimony.

They woke up early for morning prayers, the rosary, and Mass. They worked hard in either the construction crew or the evangelization team for 2 – 3 hours every morning and another 2 – 3 hours every afternoon. Each evening they joined the adults for a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament.

Complaints? Not one. Bad attitudes? Never noticed. I only witnessed courtesy, respect, and docility in each moment.

It was a joy to work with these youth and see how they gave 100% throughout the entire week. With their smiles, enthusiasm, and effort they made a difference in Honduras, and I am sure that they will continue to make a difference back here in the USA.
