Dear all,
the first day without turning on the engines but we confess that okay ... very nice and calm day, alarm clock, prayer in the chapel of the nuns and then placed in the community. Today was a day of putting it once a month, the small communities of the district meet to pray together and priests are in the villages, but our presence has done to change programs and the community was waiting for us. Very nice, how many emotions, colors, songs, sounds of a living community that advances. The full church, full of young people and a bunch of kids. Luke made his homily by recalling his first visit here in '88 when the church is not filled if not at Christmas. Getting to the sacristy to prepare it was tough, all those who remembered us asking for the journey, Saluzzo of priests who have worked here. Full of emotions, meetings, memories and simple exchange of smiles and hands. A Church that walks with many problems but that change is coming, and always hoping that the word of Jesus is able to plumb the depths and not just remain on the surface.
After Mass (2 hours) yet greetings, stories, friends who come just because they know we're here. Then a good lunch after waiting Piermario arrived in motion by Mokolo. A good chat then organize the week, we will be going to him Thursday for the mountains as the road is surprisingly good. Sister Lucia will be with us, we're cuddling, Justine and her sisters Berthe Cameroon smiling and friendly. Enjoy all these gifts, gift for the heart as Yakub meeting with a child with problems that we have many times and remember to hug us. We remember this little dirty, a bit 'the laughingstock of the neighborhood clean and friendly hours, that warm the simple but profound and moving.
quiet afternoon with a few visits, the meeting met with the first coming in Mora: Amadou, the mechanic and the tire Lamisse or rather the one who fixes tires in the middle market, a longtime friend who now came to see the bikes and talk about his family, children, work, beautiful.
A sweet evening conclusion: two steps up the hill to enjoy the sunset and see the horizon and the road from Mora to the north looked many times remembering home and friends when we lived here and gathered in silence the day. Now chat with friends, a bit sweet night 'in Italian and a little' in French if we are sisters from Cameroon. We enjoy this gift with gratitude the work at home tomorrow, some repairs, a ride to school etc Justine.
Today we have often reminded our people of the valley ... and they will return at least occasionally. Bello also know this to be brought together for many, many of us have said: go, we are happy but on one condition: back among us. We hope, a greeting and a hug for you tomorrow
