Dear Lindsay,
It was a very happy surprise to receive your letter and your welcome
news. In October I had to return to Ireland as my niece Nuula was dying- I went
for 3 weeks, even though the Doctors gave her only 2 days. But she defied the
Doctors -I had to return to Malawi, she died a week later, R.I.P. She was 54. I
was glad to spend time with her, but I could not return for the funeral.
Fr. Martin from Kenya, who is with me, lost his father, is away until
February.
So, many things are happening at once, including my 75th birthday. When
will I retire? when they get tired of me !
You are wonderful to keep up the contact to help the needy students. I
collected 4 computers and 30 phones while at home, so I was very popular when I
came back.
I am rather slow on reporting our successful stories, so I must get 2 of
them to write their stories and send them on.
Malawians are not good at coming back to give thanks but let me try!
In the New Year I will send you the list of those we are supporting and
some stories.
Thanks again to your wonderful support and greetings to Neil, Michael, Linda,
JS, Barbra & Bernie - golf remains a mystery!
Happy New Year.
Fr. Frank.
