Our Group landed safely in Atlanta.
Despite our flight being overbooked, and a small group of us taking a later flight, we have all landed safely in Atlanta where we will stay for the evening and leave for GUA tomorrow morning.
It has been so great getting to know one another. All of us have had such different experiences with Fr Greg. Having the opportunity to listen to the wonderful stories Padre's family tells about life growing up, to the stories that Butch tells about walking with Fr Greg from MN to San Lucas, to the stories from those who stayed in GUA as long-term volunteers in the 70's, to the stories of those of us who only have come to know him in the last few years. We all come from different places on Fr Greg's journey. Our fellowship so far has been so fruitful.
We ask special prayers tonight that Fr Greg arrives safely in Guatemala. He had to take a different flight out to Los Angeles, and then will come into Guatemala City on red eye early Tuesday morning. Please pray that all goes smoothly and that the people of San Lucas are all able to see him and mourn in the slightly more limited time frame we are working with.
Your prayers are already felt, thank you for journeying with us and being along with us in spirit.
Peace friends,
Lori Mathiowetz
