OLP's Guestbook

Well at least it is better than throwing watermelons around!
Best of luck to the group over there and I hope you accomplish what your goals were while there- I bet you will all walk away with having learned something that will stay with you for years!

Experience of a Lifetime!
Wow - I'm so happy for you all to be with these children - how incredible. The pictures bring tears to my eyes. So proud of you all !!!!!!!

On work and play and memories
Well you guys teared me up for the second time in 2 days! (altho if you ask Sean and Ev, it doesn't take much . . . ). It is wonderful beyond words reading/seeing of your adventures and your giving and your playing with bros and sis's from another continent! My thoughts and heart were with all of you, but especially you 'returnees' with your return to Hidden Voice today (a place of much fun and bonding with Manny and Gus. . . ). Much love and peace and joy and thanks for the blog entries! KJ/Mike

incredible
This is just great, what an experience you are having!

Thanks!
All, I can say is thanks to all of you! This update almost brought me to tears.

Lemonade
Of course it was scrumptious! Everyone knows (or should know) that the way to get the most juice from citrus is to roll it on the counter before cutting it open ... having them slung from atop a water tower sounds way more effective (and fun).

assisi house
They must have finished their renovations on Assisi house....remember when we were there, rumble was being dumped over the railing from the 2nd floor ?! Give "Bro Joe", Fathers Charles, Patrick, and Matthew a big hug for me ! Is Manny or Gesh there? Remember...its hard to hide kittens in luggage :) andy...its Greg's birthday and he's there with you.

Welcome
So glad all went well. I am sure you will love Assisi house. I helped with the design of the remodeling which got all the rooms with private bathrooms:) Mikala, whom you will also meet was the other person who helped to design it. We just happened to be around when they were trying to figure it out. Bonaventure approved:)! So glad to hear that Denis did not problem solve and now with phones you can just call Fr Charles and ask him where they are:)!!

hooray!
So glad to hear you're there safely and back together ;) I'll keep your health & energy levels in my prayers this week! Love to all!

I can picture you at St. Bon :)
Glad your "flight diversion" was OK. I am constantly checking my international clock ("what time is it in Dubai and Lusaka") and thinking of what you all are doing. Have some nshima for me! More prayers at Mass this morning for you all! Get some rest and thanks for all the updates.

Welcome to ZAMBIA
I just heard from Brother Joseph that the group has arrived in Zambia! Have a wonderful and safe time. Work hard and greet all for me.

Vienna?
So do you at least get a passport stamp from Austria? Safe travels!

Departure
Dear Group, For those of you who have been before, you will have many more new experiences! For those of you where this is your first trip to Zambia, I am confident that your lives will be touched in ways you will not comprehend in the beginning but that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
