Please see the St. Louis Archiocese Mission Web Site (www.stlmissions.org and click on Mission News) highlighting two Parishes in St. Louis who have partnered with PRO-PAPA MISSIONS AMERICA. The introduction is written by Monsignor Blood, St. Louis Mission Director and Marilyn Price, PPMA Medical Team Captain for the last five years.
JORLENE
Also want to take this opportinity to tell you that Jorlene, PPMA Scolicis Patient, is doing very well in her new home on Long Island while she waits for her Scoliosis Operation tentatively scheduled for November 13, 2008. As you may or may not know, Jorlene arrived at her Host family with me, and Carlos and Melissa Handal, without any Honduran family member with her on September 25.
The Host Family is absolutely more than anyone could ask--bi-lingual, lived in Venezuela for 10 years, very conscious of the Latin culture, prepares Latin food and the Mother is a nurse, and take Jorlene to their Church where she has won the hearts of all. I talked to Jorlene two nights ago and she sounds so good. She is eating very well, studying every day, watching cartoons and some movies in Spanish, experiencing the colder weather for the first time in her life.
We are encouraging anyone who would like to write a letter or send a card to Jorlene, please do--(either in English or Spanish). Send to:
JORLENE REYES

Again, thanks for all.
Now we are preparing for the Orthopedic Pediatric Surgical Teams' arrival on November 8-15, 2008, thanks to Dr. Joe Farrell, Phyllis Casey and the Surgeons--Team of 25 including Translators.
Thanks for keeping all in your prayers.
Peace, Happiness, Love and Greetings from all here in Honduras,
Sr. Laurinda
