Heading Home

Yesterday-Sunday, was our day off. We started with a beautiful Matins in English which was followed by a Liturgy in Spanish with the boys. Fr. Michael from St. Louis did a wonderful job serving the Liturgy for his first time entirely in Spanish. Well done father! After lunch we all took a short drive into Rosarito to get a taste of Mexican tacos, mango ice cream and the bartering system in the local mercado artesanal. Since every evening this past week consisted of playing soccer with the boys, the group decided to pull some money together to buy a shiny new soccer ball. We had everyone sign it and after dinner presented it to the boys who were quite thrilled. During debriefing we had a chance to reflect on how we can continue what we did this past week in our lives at home. May God continue to bless us in that endeavour!

To all the group members--a million thank yous for everything you put into coming down here! Hope you all have a safe trip home!
