Pat and Monica Head Home

Monica writes: It is 9:45am here [on Friday, August 1]. Pat M., JoAnn and Marion are at language class, leaving Pat H. and I here to pack. They will be home soon. This morning at breakfast the Archbishop and Bishop presented Pat and me with a life history of two of the Ugandan Martyrs, some of their relics in a beautiful little case, a certificate of authenticity and a beautiful rosary that has a medal in the shape of Africa on the back of the cross. It was very touching. I can't tell you how wonderful they are. We had all of them (bishops and priests ) over to our house for a spaghetti supper Wed. night. Pat H. and I made the sauce, garlic bread etc. Everyone pitched in to make it a very memorable evening.
Thank you so much for all your prayers for us. Please continue. We leave here tomorrow morning [Saturday, August 2] at 6am [which is 10pm Friday night CDT] We are going to the source of the Nile near Jinga. Then on Sunday hope to go to the equator before they drop us off at the airport [to fly to the US].

Aha! Found this blog at last. And now, it seems, Monica is already back home. Oh well. :)

We're one of Monica's old daycare families, and would like to get in touch with her. Could we trouble someone for an e-mail address or phone number at her new home?

Thank you,
Christine Zuchora-Walske
