Howdy everyone!
Today was amazing! After Mass at St. Ann's, we had an awesome lunch and just chilled until it was party time! There was a huge party for the well-loved community leader, who was being promoted to the regional L'arche leader. It was such a beautiful celebration. Every single one of the Core Members was just so happy to be there and was excited about celebrating a man who affected their lives in such a great way. Not one of them was sad that he was leaving.
After the party, our group split up and went to our designated homes for dinner. Although we were in different places, we all encountered similar emotions. Everyone was just so happy, because the joy of the Core Members is just so contagious. They're happy about everything and everyone in their lives, especially us being there. They're just as excited about us being there as we are. They were so darn pumped for us to simply spennd time with them and eat a meal.
What happened today was meant to be, because tonight when we were reflecting on how to celebrate the little things. We learned from the Core Members to just celebrate every little thing in our lives. Now we have a greater respect for the things that we generally take for granted, like being able to easily communicate with each other.
We've only been here for two days and we've learned so much from each other. I can't wait to see how much more we learn throughout this week.
