Other than serving as deacon at two Masses, this was truly a day of rest.
After evening Mass, I took my Peruvian family out to eat. We swung by my apartment to show them where I live. The first comment when entering the apartment was “luz!” They just got electricity in their village last year and were surprised that every room had “light.”
In the kitchen and bathroom there was “agua!” Their village still does not have “water.” They wanted to have a glass of water from the tap. Everyone in the family had had an afternoon siesta, except the mom who had to wash clothes.
Life in the villages is hard.
