I changed the design of the blog because one of the readers of it thought that the black background makes it really hard to read. I like the new design especially the map at the top. It is only perfect since this blog is to record my experience in another place.
Today turned into a really busy day. Originally I was going to go with Br. Chris and there group, but with the fiesta only next week and the novena starting this week, I had too much work that needed to be done. One of the things the Campus Ministry Office is doing is putting together an historical sheet with information regarding the Sacred Heart. Miguel and I worked on putting all the information together today for students in the Basic Education Department. I also had to count novena sheets and put them into folders to be distributed to classrooms in the Basic Education Department.
Monster shrimp at lunch today, they were fantastic. Enough said!
The afternoon was spent prepping for the start of the novena. In between the busy moments I have been taking much needed time on reading the Brothers Rule of Life. Trying to apply them to my life. One of the things I enjoy about working in the CMO, are the students that frequent the office. They are all talented, musicians and singers. There has not been a day that I have not been singing in the office, which is a great thing for me to work on my voice. For the novena, the hymn I selected is the hymn that we are using for the novena. So at first I thought they wanted me to go out and sing it in front of everyone, which would of freaked me out, but everyone would have enjoyed it. The students here ask me constantly if I can sing or dance, I dabble at both. I did sing the hymn with a few students, but in an office since we could not bring those microphones out. So everyone could hear us on the speakers, but not see us, they knew it was me though. Who knows I might try to sing in front of them during the novenas.
Went out with two of the Brothers this evening to the pharmacy to get some items. There pharmacy is like an outdoor pharmacy, you tell them what you need and they will get it for you. One of the challenges I am facing being that I am American is all the beggars coming to me for money. I hate that I can't do more to help them. Certain situations and depending on where I am going, I will not bring my wallet with me. I know it might be kind of selfish, but if I start handing out money, I could be bombarded with more people asking me for money and could possibly put my life in danger and I don't want that to happen. Even just walking with the Brothers at night makes me really nervous because one never knows if something could happen. That's why I will never walk around Digos by myself.
