Time is running out (and so am I).

 


 

Time is running out (and so am I).

Saturday afternoon I left for Samba Bougoulou, at 40 on the slope towards Carnot. There has been a lot of rain, and the road is very slippery. In Samba Bougoulou I met the catechist and the catechumens for the catechism exams.

It is a demanding job, to try and help boys and girls who want to become Christians to understand what they are asking for and what they want, desiring Baptism.

I returned to Baoro in the dark, around 7 pm, and the next day, Sunday, I left for Bawi, where I celebrated Mass. The catechist was a bit nervous (I discovered later that he had some family issues going on), but the celebration went well.

In this month of June, the preparation of the closing of the schools commences.  We are also preparing for the exams and questions. The pupils of our Mechanical School are also at their last stages.

Wednesday I went down to Bangui for the site meeting. It was also an opportunity to meet Fr Saverio, our provincial superior, and Fr Federico, who have just arrived from Italy.

Work on the construction site is moving along. On Wednesday, June 8th the first part of the slab between the ground floor and the first floor was finally laid.

Passing through the streets of Bangui, there are enormous lines at the various gas stations: there is a shortage of everything, and there are hundreds of motorcycles and dozens of cars waiting for hours to get a few liters of gas or diesel ...
