Back home


The four of us returned home safely after a half-day delay in Lima due to an exploding volcano just north of Peru in Ecuador. I was very much missed by my wife and granddaughter who is nearing 3 years old. She told me, "Papa. don't ever do that again." I swallowed very hard when she said that.

There have been some very rainy nights in Piura since returning and I have great compassion for the many families I visited who had no roof, a partial roof, or an entire but leaky roof.

I have had time to reflect on the Santa Monica Chapel that our Edmond parish built and continues to support. The link summarizes the ongoing project.
Much remains to be done, yet we already have accomplished so much.
