Sunday Celebration

Today is the celebration of Fr. Jordan Day. A big feast for us in Africa and all over the Salvatorian world. It started with a beautiful Mass, with at least 30 Sisters, 15 Priests and Brothers, some townspeople, and one American. The singing was amazing. There was a great dinner: tomato salad, chips (French fries), rice, and beef. In the afternoon, S. Amani and I cleaned and arranged the classroom, unpacked books and class materials, and began planning. Because of the funeral and because some Sisters are not here yet, we will start the class on Tuesday. Below is a picture of the empty, but cleaned, classroom.

 We also said goodbye to two visitors from the Sisters' Generalate in Rome, S. Jacqueline and S. Marie Yaneth. They have been here for about a week for the Sisters' Chapter. The Sisters elected new leadership who will begin their work on July 1. Our friend, S. Yasinta, was elected the new Provincial here in Tanzania. So, she will be preparing for her new responsibilities and will not be able to teach the class with me. S. Amani and I will do our best!

    I always loved the Sisters' singing at Mass in Masasi, especially when they broke into four part harmony at the end of every line.
