Blessings of Africa

Every morning when I wake up I say to myself ‘you are in Africa’. Looking out from Fr. Kevin’s parish – Mary, Mother of God (story later), we see the Ngong Mountains (another story).
12-8 I was blest to teach on Mary on her feast of the Immaculate Conception. (Apologetics – how to defend the faith). Today we bring to the leaders of Nairobi the theme of Evangelization. We teach on the Gifts of the Spirit. Last week, in Mombasa, this teaching lead to the Baptism of H.S and renewal of outpouring to those who have already been Baptized. We’ll see what the spirit does today.
Since St. Louis is 9 hrs. behind in time, as we wake up at 6AM, you are winding down the evening (9PM)
When we go to bed (usually about 10 PM) it is about 1PM there.
Thank you for the prayers, they are effective. The difference in how we speak English is difficult for us to understand each other. Even Fr. Kevin is from Ireland. We miss some of what is shared, as they miss some of our teachings.
Blessings, Elizabeth & Deacon Dennis
