"There is nothing small in the service of God"

This was a great though somewhat difficult week. God decided it was a good time to teach me some lessons about humility, surrender, and selflessness that are important for everyone to learn, but especially for missionaries.

Most of last week was spent preparing for the mountain missions this coming week. We will be going to five different aldeas with about seven people at each aldea doing five days worth of programming for children, youth, and families. These aldeas are known to be some of the most difficult in the diocese partly because they are so isolated. They are poor and the people only are able to go to Mass once or twice a year because the priest has over a hundred parishes. Please keep us in your prayers that God’s will may be done through us and that we will reflect the love of Christ always. Also, pray that Honduran youth will have the grace of exploring their vocation and responding to whatever God calls them to because there is such a shortage of priests, religious, and holy families here. Thanks.
