Well, my friends, I can't believe that we will be departing for our mission in one month and one day! It's been such a beautiful journey, and I have truly been blessed to have been able to forge even more beautiful friendships. The thing is too that this is only the beginning! Can you feel the anticipation building? How exciting!
So I feel I should give at least a really quick update on what has been going on over the past month since my last entry was written in May! Ok, here goes: finals, travel warnings, graduations, goodbyes, PIE dinner, kaibigan, BBQ, thumbs up from admin, visas, & community. There ya go!
Oh wait! Before I end this overdue journal, just one more announcement: Bishop Ledesma, SJ of Zamboanga will be having lunch with PIE on July 20th. I'm looking forward to his insights on faith and poverty in the Philippines. Anybody want to get the ball rolling on this topic of discussion?
