Thursday in Borongan

Many of you have met Sr. Clarissa on her visits to the States. Today is her 40th birthday. We were invited to a party given by her father and three siblings. Here is a picture of the Oikos Sisters with the bishop. 

Today I am thankful for so many things. 

I am thankful for big bugs that eat little bugs. 

I am thankful for an awesome team that worked so well together. 

I am thankful for 134 surgeries and countless clinic visits. I am thankful for the wonderful volunteers who helped us along the way. I am thankful for wonderful weather and safe travels. I am thankful to all those who have generously supported the Poor Household of God. 

And so much more. Off to the hospital now for Mass, packing and a couple of meetings. Our farewell dinner is tonight.
