There are too many things to relay -- we will do our best to catch you up.

Yesterday we went camera-less to meet our subjects. Kelly, Pete and I brought Daniel, Dale and Piper to Father Ted's house. The thing you have to know about Father Ted is that he was assigned by Mother Teresa. Have you heard of her? More information will be given, but he worked -- and still does -- with the Sisters of Charity, which is one of four ministries that he currently serves. Father Ted's house involves caring for ten or so (it's hard to keep track) young men ages nineteen to twenty-four. The family also involves others who still live with their families, or remnants of them, and husband-less mothers. We anticipate horrifying, and humbling, stories but for now:

We are appalled at how fun these guys are. As Dale and I admitted to each other after the visit, these are the kinds of guys that we hope to be cool enough to hang around. Aside from the reggae, which we're slowly warming up to, we reallllllly want to bring them back so we would be... more cool.
