Mission Accomplished



Excuse the long silence, We’ve been basically without except for 5 mins in the evening to check e-mails  Now we’ve found a tiny computer shop with 5 or 6 computers up a tiny ladder so here we are at last able to write this again.  It’s helping me a lot to write as I get perspective on things – it’s just such a different world.

Mission Accomplished

At last we have done what we came for. Here is Elsa being welcomed on board the boat to take her husband, Laurie's, ashes out into the Bay of Guanabara near the port.  They both worked here for 35yrs, befriending and helping others in their faith.  Elsa knew it was here she wanted to come and a dozen friends and a priest came with us.
It was a beautiful experience and the most fitting tribute possible this side of heaven.
Our priest was very dynamic and recorded an interview about Laurie which will go out on his radio channel.

If any of you want to read more about it visit the website "Initiatives of Change" - the movement with which she and I both came here. 
Till soon
Lyria
