Dear dear friends:
On Thursday December 15 I flew home, to the USA. I was paying close attention to the US Embassy warnings about restricted travel in and out of Congo. I would not be able to return on the 18th as I planned. It was unclear when I could return.
So I came home. Last Saturday I received a message from the US Embassy in Uganda, warning of terrorist threat against the US EMbassy and US citizens. I made the right decision.
This has been very sudden and surprising for me. I do not plan to return to Congo for a while, if at all. I have started to look for a place to live and for priestly work in CT or NY. Adjusting to "home" seems to be taking a long time.
Please continue to pray for the Congolese, for the Archbishop Isingoma Henri and his family. Please keep me in your prayers, as I know you have done for a very long time.
Advent peace and Christmas blessings,
Pam
