Beth Blodgett and Prairie Cutting, Amigas del Senor

This webpage is devoted to following Beth Blodgett and Prairie Cutting as they establish a new ministry in Honduras: a monastery for women living in voluntary poverty. 

You may reach Beth or Prairie at:
Amigas del Senor
Limon, Colon
Honduras

That's the entire mailing address. No numbers are needed. A first-class letter from the U.S. costs 90 cents and takes 3-6 weeks to arrive. This is our preferred mode of communication since our time on the Internet is short and increasingly rare. We can re-read a "real" letter, too. With this method, we can attend more fully to a letter and respond more thoughtfully.

To connect by email, write to bethblodgettnow@yahoo.com or prairienaoma@hotmail.com. Be aware that it may take 3-4 weeks before we can read any given email. Our ability to respond by email is very limited. If you write to us by email, please include your land mailing address. You may actually get a response faster by mail than by email.

Lost my glasses...
Here we are in Bonito, with lots of news to tell you. But it is hard to do. We hitched a ride in the back of a pickup truck. It was windy. My glasses left my head.  I can find the "ñ" on the keyboard, so, hopefully, you can read what I write. But I can't proofread it.

A new dog, and continued water issues
We get a puppy, and continue to haul water from the creek.

Beth's retreat and Novice ceremony
Beth has an 8-day end-of-postulancy retreat, and becomes a novice.

Our children


Garden and sewing progress, home improvement
The garden produces, we are sewing new habits, and have new benches near the house.

Agricultural Progress
In May, I told you about new neighbors. Well, while were gone to El Pino, they moved away. We didn't know that and walked over to visit one afternoon. They were gone, but there were some other people there.

Financial Report for 2007 -- Feb. 22, 2008
2007 Financial Report

Money, Notebooks and Pencils -- Feb. 22, 2008
Everyone has challenges with their budget. So why should I bother to tell you about ours? Because we had too MUCH money. Enough is the right amount.

The Long Trip Home -- Feb. 6, 2008
We did the quick (week and a half) orientation to monastic life for Autumn. She is a very apt pupil and there is the temptation to brag. Well, suffice to say, I felt confident about leaving Prairie and Autumn. Prairie had been gradually taking over more and more of what had been "my" responsibilities before I left.
