Connectional Ministries : Outreach : Amigas del Senor

Updates available at Yahoo group webpage

You can now read current and past updates from Prairie and Beth online at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amigasdelsenor/, and even subscribe to get them by email! We update about once a month.

Amigas Del Senor

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 Señor
Limón, Colón
Honduras

That's the entire mailing address. No numbers are needed. A first-class letter from the U.S. costs 94 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.



Another wild week in our life
A robbery, a friend going illegally to the US and buying corn created an emotional rollercoster of a week.

2008 Financial review
Financial management is a spiritual practice as much as is any other activity in the monastery. Accompany us in our self-examination of the 2008 financial management of Amigas del Señor.

Fiscal Report Oct-Dec 2008


 Adiós, Belén
Belén the dog gets a new home after five months at the monastery.

Christmas in Honduras
We wanted to make tamales, but ended up with a nice visit from a friend.

Financial update April-Sept 2008


 Adalaida
Our neighbor Adalaida was due for surgery and we wanted to help. We just didn't know how...

Citizenship in the City of God
Each day we pray "may your reign come, may your will be done" (that's a direct-from-Spanish translation of what we actually say).  This is our pledge of allegiance as citizens of the City of God.  It is our daily promise to seek and to obey the will of God.

A Trip to Bonito -- Oct. 23, 2008
Our diet is always improved after a trip to Bonito.

Update on Meilin from Plan de Flores
Back in June, Beth and I told you about going to Plan de Flores to find a girl named Meilín and invite her to visit the monastery. A number of you have asked if she ever came, and we keep forgetting to write an update. So here, at long last, is what happened.

Knives and Neighbors -- Sept. 25, 2008
We don't decide what is just. We just pray a lot and recognize more each week that we have no idea what is just.

Finding Enough Calories to Live On -- Sept. 25, 2008
The problem is calories. Beans are usually fixed without oil. Corn tortillas are prepared without oil. Rice is usually fixed with a little oil (except by Prairie), but rice has jumped in price and we don't eat it often. It is quite possible to eat boiled green bananas, beans and corn tortillas and have no fat in the diet for a few days.

Death by Disease or Death by Poverty? -- Sept. 24, 2008
Rich people can go to Tegucigalpa for chemotherapy for their cancers. Death by leukemia or death by poverty?

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.
