First Day in Lusaka



 Today at mass we were asked to think about the difference between sacrifice and mercy.  We were also asked to greet everyone that we meet with love in our hearts.  Father Raymond concluded the mass by saying a prayer for us missionaries and donors.  He also presented us with Oblate rosaries.  After breakfast Father Raymond, who is the Superior of the Zambian Oblate Delegation, met with Father Bright, Tom and myself.  He expressed his sincere appreciation for the Love For Lukulu missionaries and the good things that they have done in Lukulu.  Tom posted a video message from Father Raymond thanking the donors, the community, and the Love For Lukulu missions on the Love For Lukulu FaceBook page.  Father Bright then took us to exchange dollars for kwachas enroute to the public market where we purchased several items to bring back home.  This evening we will be dining at the home of Father Bright’s sister, Daphne Makunka.  Tom was very happy to run into Father Hector(pictured) who is here on vacation from San Antonio.  John lost a staring competition with a monkey(pictured).
