Upon return from our last Mission Trip to Puerto Rico, we had a debriefing session where we processed our feelings and impressions of the trip and the things that impacted us the most. Ironically, it was not the amount of "work" we got done that left the most impact, although it was substantial. But, it was more about the relationships we developed while there and how we were personally transformed by the experience. It was a joy to see others transformed and for me to be changed as well. The most moving moment for me was when I prayed Evening Prayer with a priest from the Diocese of Puerto Rico in Spanish. I don't know much Spanish, so it was a struggle for me. But I felt the Holy Spirit moving between us and within us at that moment.
