I would do anything for a steak right now.

Hola!  I hope this finds all of our readers well.  We had a full and rainy day today which consisted of visiting two schools as well as visiting the site where Brother James Miller was murdered in 1982.

I would like you all to know that we are all alive and well.  You may have heard about the Volcano Pacaya erupting.  Yes, this is the same Volcano we climbed five days ago. Thank God we managed to enjoy the volcano without it exploding on us haha.

At 6:40 am we woke from our slumbers ate breakfast and proceeded to tour La Salle Primary school which only required a short walk since we are currently staying at the Brothers residence on the schools grounds.  This particular Lasallian school in total caters to 1300 students.  Our reception at the school was very welcoming and the school itself was wonderful.  At this point I must say I am beginning to feel like an exhibit at the zoo when we are visiting the schools.  Touring the schools has been a lot of fun I can honestly say I have never been stared at this much; this must be how the penquins at the zoo feel.

The highlight of the day and possibly the trip was visiting the school that Brother James Miller worked and was murdered at.  This was a profound and humbling experience that was facilitated by Brother Martin breaking down the tragedy step for step.  I find myself speechless trying to describe my feelings in regard to visiting the exact place where Brother James was shot.  It was a powerful and chilling and experience I will never forget.

God Bless and thanks for reading!

    Glad to hear you are all ok and doing well. Hope the stomach issues are passing. The students in the photo are so cute. Jon has a poster of Brother Miller in his room and I’m sure he will always reflect on this experience when he looks at it. We look forward to your return next Friday. God Bless and stay safe.
    Love,

    I’m glad you all had enjoyed the volcano and just as happy you didn’t camp out on top of it..lol.

    Burger King proved a good point. Doesn’t matter what country you travel too. The term “gut bomb” still holds true for fast food.

    We see there is a fairly good size storm moving in over the whole area in the next couple of days. Been tracking the weather out of habit. They said it could carry up to 30″ inches of rain total. Not sure an umbrella will work to well…you may need full body rain suits.

    Steve I will be filling in for you at Tria on Friday nite. In the mean time our prayers and the prayers of family and friends are with you all….oh. Tim says Hello from SD.

    Love
    Mary and Russell
