MRW 13 Reflection - 1

Dearest Dong Hanh & Holy Molyz family,

Nick and I would like to take time out to thank you all for your love and support over the past weekend. Knowing that you all prayed and believe strongly in our marriage is by far the warmest feeling we have felt from anyone!

MRW13 was definitely a graceful and invaluable experience for the both of us! Nick and I went there with few expectations: to be closer to God and possibly get to know the Dong Hanh's family ministry better, but we came out of there with more than we bargain for! This Marriage Renewal Workshop opened our eyes to the other side of marriage life that we never knew and help prepared us for the unknown. We would like to say that it really gave us a different perspective on our marriage and family life. Many couples at the workshop mentioned that it doesn't matter if you're been married for 3 months or 30+ years, we all go through the same issues and we can't agree more. All the couples who shared were definitely a gift that we can't ask for more! The way they all allow themselves to be vulnerable in front of a bunch of strangers have made such a positive impact on the both us. One of the most profound moment for us when we were in the chapel- while the team couple was sharing, Nick and I had a strong awareness that GOD WAS THERE and talking directly to us, advising us and comforting our marriage. We were so overwhelmed by the whole experience- that very moment brought me comfort and tears! Really, we can't express enough gratitude to you all- for considering sending us an invite and prayed and supported us through the entire weekend!

We understand that all the events Dong Hanh organize is not an easy task, but somehow you are all doing a miraculous job with everything! We know that the MRW13 was the first English speaking workshop and I think it really hit home for a lot of people. We strongly believe that there is a need for workshops like that in Houston, only because we've been helping out at our parish marriage prep class, and it seems everyone is getting married at a younger age and predominantly speaks English. This workshop will definitely come has a valuable experience for many. Nick and I have talked it over and we would love to help Dong Hanh out in any way we are capable of! Please feel free to contact us for any reason!

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our heart!

Blessings,

Nicholas & Landy Tran

"The workshop was definitely the experience of a lifetime; a self-examine and reminder of my relationship with my significant other. As convinced by the busy world, I often forgot what's truly important, but MRW has set it forth that there is nothing more important my faithful partner and most importantly to always make room for God in my relationship."

Thank You,
Nicholas Tran
