Paseo De Pedro

Today the youth led the kids here at Casa Hogar in Peter's Walk (Paseo de Pedro). Associate Editor Luke Peralez has been planning since his visit here last year to help lead this walk through Peter's faith journey. He shares the Paseo de Pedro experience below.





Well, everything went well. It took a lot of preperation and patience but we finally got our wish of presenting Peter's Walk to the children and staff here at Casa Hogar!!! Even through some of the confusion and attention span loss (some of the little kids) I think that we provided a very holy and enriching experience. We led everyone through different rooms of the school that is on-site here at Casa Hogar. This proved to be very hard trying to move around twenty-eight (and twenty-two) people that were blindfolded. Even though many of the kids were not as focused as we hoped, I think that many of them will look back and realize how much of an amazing experience this was. It was one thing to go through and experience it but to be able to be a part of helping with it was such a privilege and definitely something that none us will forget.


I (Luke P.) read the part of Peter for the very first group. I was really nervous because I did not know if everyone would be able to understand what I was reading. I think that me and Eric Hutchinson (who was "Peter" for the 2nd group) did a pretty good job. Me and Drew Frisbee also sang the song, Were you there when they crucified my Lord. Everyone did a really good job and we all hope and pray that we may continue to have more amazing experiences like this with the remainder of our time here.



Dios bendiga (God Bless),

Luke
