(The Immersion Program places Sisters Ellen and Jeanette in Morogoro for two weeks, where they participated in a variety of classes, sessions and experiences to introduce them to the cultures and language, history and experiences of Tanzania. Next, they will spend a week with the Sisters in Lupaso, where they will help in whatever way they are asked.)
We arrived here in Masasi at about 0830 PM. We had a restful day in Dar and went to the airport at 1:15PM Traffic was slow and congested for the first part of the trip, but then was good so we got to the airport with ample time to spare, S. Mechy did a wonderful job of negotiating awful traffic congestion. Our flight was less than an hour and S. Elice and Father Deonatus were waiting for us. We had a three hour ride from Mtwara to Masasi, including an outstanding sunset. After supper, Barbara had two computer set up for us and they are (surprise) working well.
I got good pictures of the kindergarten in Dar, which we will be forwarding soon, I hope. We will go to Lupaso at noon tomorrow after Barbara finishes class, so she can go with us and see it.
Ellen is going to try to send some pictures tonight, but they won't be of the last three days, because she hasn't had time to prepare them yet. I'm going to try to find and read the blog tonight. We haven't seen it since the animal postings. Everyone says it is terrific and asks if we really saw those animals. We sure did and many more.
