Preparing for six weeks in Piura

I have been on five mission trips to Santisimo Sacramento Parish in Piura, Peru over the past five years. Feeling God's call to do more there, I asked the pastor, Fr. Joe Uhen, about opportunities. He replied that his archbishop said that he could invite any priest or deacon to serve in the parish and that he was inviting me. I asked my main boss, my wife Karen, if this was okay. She said "yes" and initial plans were made to go to Piura in mid-Janury 2008.

Thanks for your kind words, Ginet. Sometimes I wonder what I am doing committing six weeks from my "normal" life and you make me remember why I am.
La paz contigo!

Good for you Lee! Someday when my children are older, maybe I will have the opportunity to spend more time in Piura.

Congratulations Lee! I know it will be a wonderful experience for you. This is my first blog ever. Not sure how to do it but will see if it works. One day, God willing, I would like to go to Piura for a mission trip.
God Bless!

Lee,
You are an inspiration in many ways. Starting the blog is another way to keep the Holy Spirit moving in us all. I am envious that you are going and will be praying for you before, during and after your trip!
God Bless!
