Humility

Hey, I'm writing from Baltimore. I'll be here for the next 3-4 weeks. Javier and I are living in a house with a very nice man called Steve. Are also with us in Baltimore Almu and Beatriz.
 Is incredible, both Steve and the whole pro-life crew of this city have been  thanking us all the time the fact of being here since we arrived. This sometimes makes you think you're really doing something important for the mere fact of being here, but we must not relax.
 But the most important lesson we are learning, at least I, and I wanted to talk about, is humility. And above all, I have to thank Steve for it. He is a man who can live in a much better place, in fact he did it, but he lives in a very humble neighborhood, to call it somehow. And he works with people, mainly, Latino immigrants, helping them to find a home, and something like that.
 Every Saturday he even organizes a soup kitchen in the church of the district, which he has invited us to go today to help and we have gone delighted. It is in places like that where you really realize how lucky we are. "I do this because I am happy helping them", Steve often said. If all we try to be a little more humble every day this would be very different. Is the good thing about humility, we can apply to all aspects of life, relationships, work, so let's try
