San Antonio Tx, where are the 10 gallon hats?!!



We just wanted to write a quick note to let you all know that San Antonio has been wonderful and beautiful. We are coming to the end of our two weeks of formation with the Salesian Sisters. We have learned so much about the Salesian style of working with children as well as their approach to spiritual life. It has been a whirlwind of an adventure.

We found out that we have been accepted to work as volunteers at a girl's school in Maipu, Chile, a subburb of Santiago. The School year doesn't start for them until the first week of March. We'll most likely be going to Chile mid February. It's nice to know that we will have some time to really get ready for the trip, in every aspect... physically, mentally and emotionally! This Sunday we have set up to call the head Sister in Chile, Sister Olga, and talk with her about our strengths and what we have to offer, and to find out more about the school. I'm really not anticipating any complications... and I am sure that they will be able to find a way to fit us into the rhythms of the school.

Well, just wanted to let you all know the good news. Hope all is well for you and your loved ones and May God bless you abundantly. Love, Matt and Janelle
