Marlit, Darwin, Victor and I took food packages to 17 families in La Piedra. We assessed each house for needs and took a photo of those who were home. Finally, I blessed each home. I will share the photos at my Gallery site where you can download any photo that you want: http://gallery.mac.com/deaconlee Later I will privately share our findings with the sponsoring families, padrinos. My godson, Cristopher, is at the right.
We also visited the Hospice Center and met a lady dying from breast cancer and a man dying from prostate cancer. I helped walk him around the center as he sang and joked. Each got a blessing.
At my first Mass, Fr. Uhen introduced me saying what deacons can do. They must have all been listening because even kids have been asking me for a blessing.
Today at lunch I had Peru’s famous dish of ceviche: fish in limejuice. It was so good that it may become a new diet.
After Mass this evening I helped my Peruvian family make their first movie. I will post it soon. We started at 8 this morning and got done at 5:30 with a siesta intermission. It was a GREAT day!

I love ceviche also... it's low in calories also. So happy that you are having a fine time and getting to bless so many people.
