Sr. Rosa Margarita from Zambia!

This is Sister Rosa Margarita in Zambia with the men who were giving her clinic some land. I saw her today, despite our missed opportunity on Saturday.

She was visiting her brother in Falfurrias, so he brought her to Driscoll, which is about 30 miles south of Corpus Christi. I met her at a service station there. I saw this smiling man and he waved at me--and that was her brother, who told her that he knew it was me because I drove into the parking lot, looking all around.

I drove Rosa Margarita to the Incarnate Word Convent in San Antonio today. We had a wonderful time talking with each other. I learned her faith story and how she became a nun, as well as much about her life in Zambia. If MJ or CB download the camera for me, I'll post a picture of her and me soon.

By the way, THANK YOU! I really liked your post on Light a Candle. I lit one and dedicated it to a -friend on her b-day. I like that site so much it is now on my sidebar.

I thank you and God bless you abundantly!

I would love to hear her story one day if you are at liberty to share it.

Anyway, I am so pleased that this worked out.
