Internet access at last!

Monire mose,

Sorry to all our intrepid followers for not keeping you up to date with our recent adventures. We had no electricty all day Sunday and then our last 2 days in Mzuzu were hectic, trying to see everyone before we left. We are of course on tour at the moment and I'm writing this post in the very posh Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre. Obviously that is not where we're staying - only popped in for a drink and flushing toilet!

It was my turn to write last Saturday's blog so I'll perform my duties in as few lines as possbile.

We attended the ordination of Deacons Kondwani & Tony in Nkhamenya. This involved getting up even earlier than usual and driving for 2 and a half hours to reach Nkhamenya before 9am. The ordination Mass was only 4 hours - the shortest one I've been to! It was of course a fantastic celebration with lots of colourful singing and dancing. Afterwards we had dinner with all the priests of the diocese before heading back to Mzuzu.

That doesn't do the Mass justice at all but it will have to do. Hopefully my travelling companions will manage to post over the next day or two to fill in the rest of our adventures. Heading to Cape Maclear tomorrow for a few days total relaxation before returning home.

Pawemi,

Bernadette, Celia, Paul & Anne

  1. I presume this will be your last Sunday in Malawi (for this year,anyway) and today's opening prayer couldn't be more apt- ""Let us pray that we will make good use of the gifts that God has given us". You certainly have given of your time and talents - well done!

  2. I've just googled images of Cape Maclear - It's like Stevenston Shore - well it's got sand and water.
    Have a good time
