Funday Monday!

Hola lovely family, friends, and fans!

So far we have been having an amazing experience in every situation we put ourselves in... you could say we are coming together as a team and a newfound family! :) We kicked off this morning by pouring our cereal and preparing for our morning prayer. One of the core assistants explaned her duties that she and the other assistants go through on a daily basis... To find out what they do everyday was an eye opener to us of how dedicated they really are!

From there we packed our lunch (Brandon and Leigh had.. quite an experience with making PBJ's) and headed out to L'Arch Stratfort to hangout with the core members at various homes in that general community. Each member on the trip after coming back together shared the love that they each felt at their respective homes and how we are each growing in appreciation of the core members lives and how much of a blessing they really are to each person's life they come into contact with! The faces of peace, joy, and splendor we get to see each day here is unbelieveable.
Oh, and we cant forget how Laura was slaying the piano and brighting the days of the core members through allowing them to sing and dance... and of course we joined in!

Upon arrival back at the Sherman house, the clan began reflection for the day through the principle of solidarity.. what an amazing teaching! It is all about being your brother and sisters keeper.. and that is what we all got to share through our individual experiences... it was frutiful for all of us:)

I think this quote sums up today and the overall meaning of our work here and what we are trying to do:
"Love isn't love until you give it away"

Thanks friends - continue to keep us in your prayers!
Brandon
