Tuesday brings a visit from the women's group

Classes went well today. There's lots to learn and only a few classes left. Saturday will be our last class. 

Later this afternoon, the women's group from the parish church in Masasi walked over to the mission. I've gotten to know them over the years. Two years ago, I shared information about Lay Salvatorians with them. S. Trojestina works with them. This year, I had some gifts for them--rosaries and small medals with Blessed Mary of the Apostles, the founder of the Sisters of the Divine Savior, on one side, and the Teaching Savior on the other. Before I left Milwaukee, the Sisters at the Salvatorian Sisters Residence prepared them for me. The women from the church were very pleased and send greetings and prayers to you all in Milwaukee. 

Then we walked a short distance so they could show me their planned building site for their small pig farm. Everyone in Tanzania is involved with raising animals and growing crops. They eat what they produce. I am so impressed with the hard work they all do to live. It's a real lesson for me about what really matters.
