I’m here at Ngorongoro mission with Fr. Joe Herzstein. At the new mission, we are putting up a small building with three rooms, one living and sleeping, a store room and an inside bathroom. In the meantime, I am staying at Ngorongoro mission and doing the work at Olbalbal from here. Fr. Joe’s mission is on the lip of the crater and about an hour and a half by car from Olbalbal.

The new place is some six thousand feet lower and out on the plains. I’m expecting to begin living at Olbalbal in a month’s time. This past Sunday was my first Sunday with the Christian community at Meshili, Olbalbal. After the service, there was roasted goat and a little time to get acquainted. Today, Tuesday, I’m off to another Maasai village at Olbalbal, Ngoile. There will be a service and time with the people there.
