Reality is closer for a month trip

Actually going to Piura for a month in January became more real as I paid for my plane tickets. I did this far enough in advance to get the lowest rate possible. With this more solid commitment, I have stepped up trying to learn Spanish. Fewer people are talking to me in Spanish at St. Monica because of the success of our ESL classes -- many want to practice their new English phrases.

I am now writing my e-mails in Spanish to Marlit, our liaison at Santísimo Sacramento. I am preparing to lead a staff retreat and weekly lectio divina. I am also praying a lot for divine intervention.
