Mission Diary: January 2011
http://missionarydiary.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. A personal take on addressing the HIV/AIDS issue. On the other hand, I also believe that somethings don’t need to be constantly talked about. People need a chance to live just as people, doing the things that people do, and relating to each other not based on labels or blood test results, but based on the essence of being human. Will this have a positive effect on the HIV/AIDS issue? Posted by Fr. Anthony Duc Le, SVD. Thursday, January 20, 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). แบ...

Mission Diary: June 2010
http://missionarydiary.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Overcoming language barriers in a new culture. Nonetheless, people told me that the Thai that I was learning was not going to be the Thai that people in the Northeast, where I would end up working, were using. People in the Northeast didn’t speak Thai, they said. They spoke Isan. What? It’s like Laotian, they said. I was a little bit worried. How was I going to understand them if we didn’t speak the same language? Nong Bua Lamphu, 1 June 2010. Posted by Fr. Anthony Duc Le, SVD.

Mission Diary: April 2010
http://missionarydiary.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. On the third day of the camp, the youth went into the village to visit the sick and abandoned elderly. This activity was meant as a lesson in having the spirit of volunteerism and taking concrete action to make society better. The second and third day's activities were different from the first day's activities which focussed more on stirring the heart and mind of the youth through talks, discussions, and sharing.

Mission Diary: My Vocation

Monday, May 7, 2012. November 9, 2011. Some people ask me, “Why are you a religious? 8220;Well, God called me to religious life,” I answer. 8220;That’s it? 8221; They ask further. 8220;Yup, that’s it,” I tell them. They don’t seem satisfied with my response. They want to hear something more impressive, more dramatic than that. But I don’t have any story to satisfy their curiosity. 8221; I didn’t know that casava was cheaper than rice. I am recording these memories during the time which I am serving in no...
