Opportunities and Experiences

I will forwarn you ... there are a ton of pictures in this post.  Brian and Patrick are safely home from their mission trip to Gallup, New Mexico.  They helped some folks who needed it, bonded with people they might otherwise never have known, experienced different cultures, got a little spiritual enrichment, and came home changed for the better.  Enjoy the pictures.  And, thanks Dave, for being a better photographer!

The Great Southwest

Brian and Patrick outside of the mission where they stayed

The Catholic High School where they worked tiling the floors (see below), updating bathrooms, and setting up computers.

The Navajo reservation where they served food and helped the needy with the Sisters of Mercy, Mother Theresa's order.

Contemplating life ... love this shot!

These two pictures (above) are from a side trip to Red Rocks.

The Grand Canyon.  The Colorado River (above) seems small in this picture.  Below are some kids enjoying the view and I am sure making some of the adults a little nervous with how close they were to the edge.

Sweet Baby Patch!
