## Resource

Today, the second part of the interview that we did back in late 2019 with Fr. Patrick Summers, the District Superior of Asia.

But first, last week we talked a lot about challenges. So to kick off this part of the interview, I wanted to ask about some of the good things – the beautiful parts of working in Asia, the edifying things that give Fr. Summers a great joy.
