Our newest member of the Band of Brothers may be the first one to serve tirelessly on two continents. Meet Darin Branson, who might have to swap his cargo shorts for a comfortable and stylish pair of sand dollars, though the Nicaraguan clime might just necessitate the jungle kings instead. Read more about Darin:
I am from the New Orleans area, and since the year 2000 I have been an Emergency Medical Technician. After graduating from college in 2005, I have planned and organized many efforts to send nursing and humanitarian groups to work in the missions of Granada, Nicaragua (here is a photo of me with a family that we built a house for in Grenada). After attending a few of the mission trips, I lived in Granada helping the poor, and discerned a vocation for the priesthood.
We are all called to the service of others–but to love the service is what makes the difference.
I went to study in a major seminary for two years and then decided with much prayer and self awareness that God was calling me to other things. I am now a nursing student in Houma, Louisiana and I will be an RN in the spring of 2010. I will be married June of 2009. This a brief summary of who I am and what I do–it is not extraordinary, but it is what I have done and am doing to serve others and make the world a better place. We are all called to the service of others–but to love the service is what makes the difference.
