Gone, but not Forgotten
Tuesday, 30 December 2014
Sr. Domingo passed away yesterday. Now, his family has to handle all the arrangements of a ‘funeral’ and burial, which is quite different than in the U.S. Last night his son called me, saying that the hospital told them if they had a casket, they could take the body home then. So, he was calling

These past few days it has been literally storming here in the Amazon! Rains have been torrential, causing flash floods.
