HANGING IN LUSAKA

After the assembly meetings many of the sisters traveled to Zimbabwe for more meetings, so I've just been hanging out in Lusaka.  We will be heading back to the village on Tuesday or Wednesday.

This morning before going to Mass we woke to several decapitated and partially eaten rats on the front porch...the cats were showing off their kill from last night...very gross! I was invited for lunch to the home of a doctor and his wife from India. We had great indian food!!! They even talked me into trying the cow tongue. It wasn't bad but I couldn't get the image of the cow also chewing as I ate it...lol!

ASSEMBLY IN LUSAKA

I've begun to settle into my home in Kalomo after cleaning and unpacking.  I am now in Lusaka for several weeks.  The sisters had their assembly meetings and I was invited to participate.  The topic of the meeting was reconciliation and intercultural living.  I gained great insights and awarenesses...and also had the opportunity to get to know the new sisters that arrived in Zambia since my last visit.  There are three sisters from India and one from Ireland that were not here when I visited last year.

I ARRIVED BACK IN ZAMBIA

I arrived in Zambia late last night.  Sr. Teresa drove into the city from the village and picked me up from the airport...Sr. Sheila came with her.  The sisters all stayed up at the house to welcome me back with sandwiches and tea.  Today I've been running around doing errands and tomorrow I will drive back out to the village with Teresa.  It's good to be back!
