Trip around the Province

Well guys!,

I'm sorry for not posting too often, but it's been a crazy week. We got back last Friday from a 14 day, 3000 miles trip around the franciscan province; beginning in Bloomington Ill., going to Peoria, then to Ava Missourri, Shreveport, La; then off to Houston and Galveston Tx,next stop was Lafayette, La and Homa and our next journey brought us to New Orleans, and finally Franklin TN, just outside of Nashville. It was a incredible experience; to see so much of the country and the beautiful landscape in each state was breathtaking. I will be adding photos that I took of our journey together as soon as I can find my SD card...... I got to know my fellow postulants on a different level. We had alot of great moments together, and some moments where we needed some time to reflect and just be alone. Now that we have returned and been back for over a wee, i reflect on the trip, and I am glad that these five guys are my BROTHERS...
It's taking some time to get to know each other but I think it's going well. We began music liturgy classes last week, and you know what? I liked it and I am thinking of joining our choir next Sunday... I am starting a class on sexuality and celibacy tomorrow and I haven't finished reading the book yet.. It's a difficult subject, and I think alot of the guys have a difficulty with it as well, so we'll have to see in the morning how things go..... I am signing off for tonight and wish you a peaceful night.

God Bless

Pax
