Sorry I haven't done much posting the last two weeks. I was with our friars in England for the Paschal Triduum, and joined them and the friars from Ireland the following week for a community retreat in Wales. This was part of the arrangement we worked our for spiritual support in a special assignment where I will be away from the community most of the time. It was a good visit and a prayerful, restful retreat. I spent a few days in Nairobi on my way back to take care of a few things there, and arrived again in Torit last Monday evening. Since I've been back I've been catching up and finalizing plans and preparations for the visit of 4 friars and 3 lay missionaries who arrive on May 19th. While everything is falling into place, I do ask for your prayers. There are a lot of "uncontrollable variables" here that can only be commended to God in prayer. Please also pray that a vehicle that is en route to delivery arrive on time for the visit.
Below are some photos of the visit to England.
