My New Blog!

Hello friends, family, and Mission Partners! I began this blog in order to better keep you all posted on my antics for Christ at MIT (and wherever else the Lord may take me)!  It is a fun adventure and I have one too many stories to fit into a quarterly newsletter (and a handful too many pictures--though the pictures are mostly courtesy of my teammates Ashley and Levi). Be sure to return to this page whenever you feel the desire to read up on how the Holy Spirit is working through FOCUS--the Fellowship of Catholic University Students.  I'll keep you posted with highlights from my days, tweet-sized commentary on life as a missionary, and various pictures and links! Enjoy! Later days and God bless! Ann Gennaro
