Last night, we had Mass then Ultreya in town and....wow, it was amazing. We Notreamericanos went up and introduced ourselves and sang a song ("I'm trading my sorrows"). Afterwards, unexpectedly, the lights went out and Padre walked in with a Monstrance for an evening of adoration. The most moving part of Adoration was when Father picked up the Monstrance and walked around to each individual person in the room and we were able to kiss the monstrance and put our head against it to make a small, silent prayer. It was such a magical moment. What I just described does not even do it justice. The tears were flowing all around.
This morning, Jay, Jim, Scott, and Terese are in the garden finishing up their work. Madre Maria is at the compound finshing sorting school supplies and medicines which we are taking around tomorrow morning (to Kindergartens and clinics respectivly).
This afternoon is up in the air as the garden will be finished. I believe some will be coming to blog while others will be working in the compound garden.
Below i'm posting various pictures - the first bit being the medicines that were donated..
