Hello one and all.
Today we celebrate All Souls Day (El Dia De Los Difuntos). It is a major celebration here in Bolivia with many more people in Church and families visiting cemeteries to remember their loved ones.
Yesterday in Nueva Vera Cruz we celebrated La Misa del Los Angelitos - a mass for children who have died in their infancy or through abortion. It was a very moving service and was a blessing for all the families who participated.
Today I moved into the Maryknoll House and will be here for the rest of the month. I will be continuing my language studies and will be spending time in the barrio when I get the chance.
Please keep ime in your prayers as I continue with my studies.

I think you have the wrong idea about Maryknoll.
