San Diego Mission: a quick update!

Hey everybody!  I just wanted to write a little bit about my mission to San Diego a couple weeks ago, and to say thanks to everybody who made it possible for this trip to happen.  So thanks to everybody who sent donation and/or prayers our way!  The trip was an incredible experience that I know I will never forget!  Here's a link to a quick video that we made as an intro to each event that we held for the teens in San Diego. Enjoy!  http://youtu.be/9sroEbz9d6M

We began the week by running a confirmation retreat for about 140 high school students, we helped out with two soup kitchens, lead mini retreats for both 7th and 8th grade Catholic school students, put on a night for high school students on chastity, we prayed outside of an abortion clinic, and put on living stations of the cross for the parish that we stayed at, and we even got to spend one day on the beach! 

It was such a beautiful experience getting to bring the love and joy of Christ to the people in San Diego.  I realized that I went into the experience in "Mission mode," ready to serve, but I ended up being spiritually fed by the experience and enriched by the service that I received.  So thanks again for allowing me to experience this mission and for your prayers and support!
