FRIDAY FEB 3
2012
YESTERDAY I convinced Sr Alina to go walking with me. Her
time was very limited so we walked very fast since I have been limited the last
few days to doing my unaccompanied walking up and down the road close to the
house. We came upon a road she had never been on and she decided to aventure
down it. I was so surprised. I said this is whwere the people live. It was a
village out of a Hollywood story. There were neat little blocks of properties
with very small houses and paths with gardens and fenced yards. She recognized
some parishioners and stoped to chat.It was what America has lost. It is
closeness with neighbors. Groups of children came out to see the Nzugu or white
man. Some women greeted her and said they had been to a house where they met
for prayer. They told her she should have been there to bring more spirit. I
felt like I was truly in a community that surpassed a condo community in almost
every respect except for the pool.
