I met a prince!!! Right here in Vernal, and even went to dinner with him (together with a small group of 16 people, including his highness). Mark is a member of the Knights Templar, and active with the humanitarian efforts of the local group. The SMOTJ Priory of the Mountain of the House of the Lord gathers medical equipment that is being discarded by government and private sources, packages it up, and sends it to places all over the world where there is a need. There are doctors and other trained medical professionals there who lack the tools they need to save lives, and here those tools are being thrown away, sometimes without even being used once. This group focuses their efforts on Ethiopia, which is why their Patron, Prince Mengesha of Ethiopia, stopped by to have dinner with us when he was travelling through this part of the world.

We might think that our life is hard because we would like to have a bigger house or sometimes there isn't any spending money left after paying the bills, but we are so rich and don't even know it. There are people in the world who starve to death because they don't have food to eat.
