The time is fast approaching for our mission trip to Grenada. It has been a long year of preparations, but our hard work has paid off, and is so worth it! We are beyond blessed by the support of so many, including our parish family, our community, and our own family and friends.
Even though we will only be serving for one
week out of the country, it is the beginning of an immersion experience. When we
live on someone else’s turf and walk in someone else’s shoes, we can become
vulnerable and maybe even uncomfortable. It then is no longer about us or the
things we came to do. It is about connecting with strangers, listening to their stories,
understanding their culture and tasting their food. It is through this amazing
process we uphold the dignity of others. We leave different knowing new friends who
are no longer strangers.
We are super excited about this life-changing experience, and look forward to sharing it with all of you. Feel free to share this blog with others.
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW? We have all our shots to keep us safe, including tetanus, typhoid and hepatitis A. We're packing our safety glasses and work clothes, along with items to donate to the people we are serving. Flights are booked and last minute details are being ironed out. Keep the prayers coming!
