Our last night at the orphanage, the staff and children hold a fiesta in our honor, with a special meal, entertainment, and presentations.
We, in turn, take a turn at entertainment. This year we presented a four page adaptation of The Wizard of Oz and concluded with a parody of the hymn version of Mourning Has Broken.
My wife claimed it's not "Mourning" but I replied "It is the way we sing it."
The orphanage presented each of us with little gifts, and presented our parish with the finished version of the Last Supper wood carving.
My wife claimed it's not "Mourning" but I replied "It is the way we sing it."
ReplyDeleteReminds me of at birthdays we ask for a solo of the song "Happy Birthday" from my wife's father: "so low we can't hear it". :)
Congrats on another successful mission trip!
As always, great pix and good descriptions.
ReplyDeleteNow back to the mission territory of Milwaukee....
I love hearing about trips like this. I have gone many times to the Dominican Republic to do dental work with two orphanages... had to forego it for the past couple of trips until I had things ready for the wedding... hoping to go again in November, though.
