My Awesome New Friends!

Today I met so many people! I swapped a Harrisburg Diocese pin for a keychain with a young man from Malaysia (shown in the picture)  On the metro my brother and I met Carmen, a 24-year old from Lebanon (the country-not the city in our diocese) who is studying for her doctorate in pharmacy. "I love America!" She exclaimed,scribbling our names in her notebook. "Want to be friends on Facebook?"
In line for dinner we met a cheerful youth group leader from New Zealand, and a group from Paris signed my backpack after the Marian Festival.
So many people of so many different cultures and countries, all joined together to praise God...maybe this is a bit of what heaven will be like.
Minus the flies and the heat.
