Gift 19 ~ Celebrating Steps / Prayer Partner

On April 6, Cami and Mark go to the Self-Realization Fellowship Temple for their meditation service. The land and the temple were a gift from a devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda, who moved to the US from India and founded the Self-Realization Fellowship. The $5 they drop in the collection plate is Cami's gift for the day. Afterwards, they walk the grounds and Cami wills herself to walk including up and down a flight of stairs. She rested a few times but made it without falling and without her cane which she still hasn't found.

My gift today was to send a handwritten letter to my prayer partner for the Mission trip. This is a fun activity we got on the day of our retreat. It is a way to develop a connection with one of our peers, show support for each other, and foster an ongoing support system for the trip and beyond.
