Hello Pat, What a suprise to hear from you. This is Jimmy Dengler ATO brother from Widner. I am a religious brother with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in Honduras as a Missionary. I have been here for 8 years now and love it dearly. You may not reconize my new name. My religious name is Brother Matteo Marie. Or in spanish it is Fray Matteo Marie. Fray means brother. So how are things going? Times have changed, haven´t they. From partying and drinking to praying and serving the most needy and poor. I spent some time in the Military in a Special Forces Unit at FT. Bragg, North Carolina doing Special Ops type stuff. When I got out, I felt this strong urge to do something great with my life. and so here am I, serving the most needy and poor... I have lost all contact with the brothers from the Fraternity. I find it a little ironic because the Lord lead me to a group of brothers called The Alpha Tau Omega. It was Jesus who said that "I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end." The Tau is a symbol of the Franciscan Cross. So here I am serving the Lord in a Franciscan Community. Crazy huh but not so crazy and God would have it. You can check our email address at: cfrhonduras.com Got to go, God Bless
