Just a quick monire to let you know we are still alive. Not enough hours in the day or days left in the country to fit everything in. We were on the go from 5:30am until 9pm last night without a break with Mass, school, shopping, bank, visit to Marymount Catholic Girls boarding school and dinner party at MR's house (school board member). Paul has started to type up his Zambian adventures in the 5 mins he had free this morning and I've promised him at least an hour off on Sunday, so hopefully he'll get it on the blog then.
We are leaving in 10 mins for an overnight trip to the very north of the country for an ordination of 3 priests tomorrow. One of those, Daniel Kamanga, was on placement at St. Peter's when I first arrived with Marianne in 2002 and we got to know him pretty well. Tomorrow is bound to be quite a spectacle with probably a at least a 4hour Mass. Tonight we are staying in Karonga and we'll leave at 6am to reach the ordination for 9am. Soon after the Mass we will begin the 7 hour journey back to Mzuzu. Everyone is scaring us about the state of the roads we will be travelling on, so it's bound to be quite an adventure.
Pawemi,
Bernadette
