Today was a beautiful day of travel and togetherness. We spent the majority of the day flying, driving, and eating, but everything went as smooth as it could have. We arrived at the Hogar de Ancianos in the early evening and were greeted by the Sisters and some of the young girls who work here. It is always a warm welcome in Honduras complete with decorations, songs, and many hugs. We celebrated Mass together as one big family. It is a gift to have Fr. Brian traveling with us. He has been working on his spanish so he can provide a bilingual Mass and he did an outstanding job! After Mass, we headed down the street to the Hogar de Niñas where they welcomed us with joyful songs, fireworks, and more hugs. We ate a delicious meal under the stars with the girls. The long table sat over 60 of us, but the girls couldn’t wait to finish eating so we could have a dance party. It was a perfect reunion of old friendships and new beginnings. We are all looking forward to a great week! Julie
