On Sunday, October 9, we spent our last day in Nairobi celebrating Mass in the morning in maximum security at Kamiti Prison, followed by a very blessed and anointed hour of Eucharistic adoration. Before we left the prisoners asked us to return to give them a retreat. Later in the day Br. Juan Pablo, MC, Maynor and Dr. Will Stallings visited the toddlers and handicapped children at the Missionaries of Charity home in Huruma, while I spent the afternoon with my CL friends at their monthly assembly.
My name is María and I come from Spain. For almost 2 years, 2009-2010, and after being in Nairobi for 11 times, since 2006, volunteering in Nairobi with the Marianists and I was so lucky to meet the Sisters of Mercy, just by sheer chance. I was working with the Sisters in Huruma slums, a place where, as Mother Teresa said, you just simply see God, it is there where God is, among them, among those ones that He loves the most. I was working with them, the Sisters of Mercy, with those little Jesus that the Lord loves the most. I have been at my happiest there, working with them and among them. Nothing can be more beautiful and rewarding than that. I can say that I saw Jesus in disguise in the faces of those little kids, isn´t that beautiful, amazing? And yes, I could also hear everyday the word "mzungu" (white person) while on my way to the House. There I met the novices and the superior Sister at that time, Sister Innocence. Thanks to them I have lived the happiest moments in my life. And I also THIRST. I have found this page thanks to a priest that used to belong to the MC Fathers. Thanks Fr.Richard for sharing with me this page.
