Heading home from Mississippi

The volunteer group gathered for dinner last night at Sister Paula and Margaret's house. The feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction was evident. The painting at both clinics is complete. More importantly, the group developed a strong bond with each other and a deep admiration for the Sisters who work there. The group presented a card and gift to the two Sisters. Gayle Case described the feeling best when she told them, "I didn't know you before I came. Now, I'll carry you forever in my heart."

That's the whole point of our volunteer immersion experiences: to be of service to those in need, to find and to manifest God's goodness in our areas of service, to grow in appreciation of other peoples and cultures, and to allow our hearts to be changed. This trip was a success on all counts.
