My Cup Runneth Over

Earlier today, I had the tremendous blessing of visiting St. Andrew’s church in Riverside California. I can’t express how wonderful it was to see Fr. Josiah , Kh. Catherine, the entire Trenham family, in addition to the whole parish of St. Andrews. After a beautiful service, Father called me up to the front of the church and gave a special blessing for my time in Mexico. Surprised, I stood as Fr. Josiah gave me far too much credit for my coming time at St. Innocents. To conclude, Fr. Josiah asked if I had enough money. After assuring him that I was set, he overruled and asked the parish to fill my pockets. I can’t explain how overwhelming his and the entire church’s generosity was. At the end of the day, yes my pockets were full, and my cup overflowing.

The amazing hospitality at St. Andrews, was only the most recent instance in which I have received awe-inspiring support. The countless prayers, emails, letters, thoughts, and financial support have been tremendous. I told Fr. Josiah, I keep getting credit for something I haven’t even gotten to do yet. I feel like I should spend three years down in Mexico for the recognition I’ve been given in merely the last few months.

With all this generosity fresh in my mind, I want to again thank everyone for their support. I’ve told many, I feel very lucky to have the opportunity, and extremely blessed to have the support that I’ve been given. While I go down, I go with your thoughts and prayers. I just hope that I can represent my family and friends well. Please keep me in your prayers. As always you are all in mine. Thank you!

Under His Mercy,

Joel
