Today’s Report, by Kristine Trujillo
Today the group visited the community of Tacuba, about an hour and a half away. When we arrived, we attended mass in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. The whole community waited patiently for us to arrive before they started mass--even though we were 30 minutes late! After the mass the group attended activities with the community. We saw beautiful folkloric dances, and heard a wonderful musical group. We also heard testimonies from families sponsored through CFCA. Afterwards, our group was presented with gifts and received a lot of love from the whole community. After the activities with the community we visited the nearby school. We returned to the retreat center and had a wonderful dinner of pupusas! Lauren and Kristen led our meeting and helped us to reflect on our day.
