Briefly...

Yesterday was awshum!

We started out with Catechesis at Our Lady of Fatima the Church right next to us.

We were worried it was going to be a little rinky dink, because it was such a small venue, but it was really good. We met the Archbishop of Canberra-Goldburn, and he was a really great man of God. He gave a great teaching and a great homily and overall he was really inspiring. More on that later.

Also, our worship leader was the "Sizzlin' Texas Guamanian" himself, Jesse Manibusan.

It was cool he invited Eddie to play with him, and Me and Angela sang with him. He also showed us some cool new handshake tricks... more on that later. We also met his wife and his daughter and they are just an awesome family. His wife grew up in Oakland, and we reminisced a little bit about "Marine World Africa USA"







Oh no... i'm running out of time.

Had lunch of sausages in slice bread. We each had about 6 of those.

Went to the Sydney Opera House saw a concert of this guy who was staying with us at St. Ursula's. Really inspiring music and testimony. I have his card, we might book him for some events. His name is David Macdonald. Look him up. Angela got on stage.

Then we headed to another city (got a little lost), for Solemn Pontifical Vespers and Benediction with Cardinal Pell. Simply Beautiful.

Then we headed to PJ Gallaghers, a pub, for Theology on Taps with Archbishop Chaput of Denver. That guy is rock solid Catholic! The theme of the night was "Mission Possible" and it was about not living a double life, and how living as a Half-Way Catholic is self-destructive. Amazing talk. Great Stories. I couldn't write fast enough, but we got a lot of really good stuff, and I will try and put together a summary of it all when we get the chance. The crowd was great. Most people had great questions

Pray for Eddie he is feeling a little under the weather.

Sorry so rushed. Well, off to Catechesis and to see the Holy Father.
