12 March 2012 Women's Day, URAT, USA Visitors and Travel!
Women's Day, known here as Mother's Day, had us occupied in a variety of activities. All of these necessitated wading through slush as we had heavy snow all day! Flowers and bouquets were given everywhere and there was a good festive spirit.
On Saturday, Lalini and I travelled to Tirana for a Urat Meeting. We made final plans for the Training Day we will host next month and Mirjam has almost completed the poster design for the Olympics. We need this for a special liturgy in Tirana in
June. I was so happy to hear at the meeting that Good Shepherd, Syria-Lebanon was well represented in Washington recently. They are doing great work in relation to the needs of the people pouring into Damascus. Also, we received an excellent video that was made of their ministry.
On Sunday, we had Mass and afterwards we had three American visitors in our house. One is a Peace Corps. friend who came with her sister and her husband that are visiting from the states. Their visit has been quite an adventure so far!
My entry is very much in brief. This is due to the fact that the day got a little overloaded and now it is time to finish! I leave for Ireland early in the morning.
Watch this space. I may manage a little activity at the weekend.....!
In the meantime, have a great week and every blessing on your work and play.
