I have had the opportunity to meet a ton of individuals here at Notre Dame. Today we just had lunch with the Vice-President of Notre Dame and met the President. It is amazing how educated the entire Holy Cross Society is. I have met more people that speak at least three languages in the last three days then i have in my entire.
So far we have been going through a lot of basic orientation stuff. Questions about my reasons for going, along with my past history and also just basic personal questions. I was informed by one of the priests about the history of the Holy Cross, also about the role that Holy Cross has played in Chile. They have a vibrant history with the construction of St. George's a school that has a lot of political pull in Chile. Most of the priests i have encountered have many political connections with the government. For example Fr. Jim is going back to preside over a wedding in Chile in which President Michelle and most of the government will be attending.
So there are a bunch of people we still have to meet and some more hoops to jump through but it is pretty exciting.

Hi John:
Sounds like things are going well.
Off to New York tomorrow right?
We are praying for you.
hey buddy, this sounds like a pretty great experience. When do you actually get to Chile?
I am hoping to do another south america tour in the next year or so, so I am trying to save up cash, would it be cool if I came to see you?
To answer some questions. I don't actually leave for New York until Thursday morning at 8 am.
I get into Chile the 27th of July. and i don't know yet if i am able to have people to come i have to figure that out with my Superior in Chile Father Delaney.
Hi John,
I am so impressed with this blog and what you are doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you
