Hello. Meeting new people is one of the blessings of my experience with Maryknoll. Strangers that pass through or old connections that appear again. Today I heard a few words I want to share with you.
"They were there with me - while I was converting and cooking - they were right there with me."It was in reference to a junior high home ec teacher and a math teacher. These words struck me as so relevant to the many people who are with me in my journey. Maybe it's you who are reading my words miles away. Words you said years ago, part of your presence that stays with me, something I learned from you. Being far from loved ones doesn't always make them disappear.
I'm in Nairobi for a week and I'm hoping to catch up on communicating with friends & family. So don't be surprised to hear from me more than once! The past weeks have been a whirlwind - preparing for a board meeting, reviewing new cases, putting the wheels in motion for activities during the December school holidays, evaluating this year's experiences, making plans for next year and the best part - a surprise visit from a fellow missioner from Bolivia.
I hope to write more this week about some of these moments. We shall see if it comes to fruition.

| Minh with the Kindergarten class at Star of the Sea Nursery School. Minh's curiosity was a real blessing, as we entered into various corners (and classrooms) that I usually pass by during my day-to-day life. These children wave at me as I go into the office, so it was nice to pay them an official visit and hear their English skills and songs! |
Thanks to all of you who are here with me. Tuko pamajo. We're together in spirit.
