Closing Chapter: Love Has No Boundaries

When I began my journey to be a missionary I said it was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Now it is time to end that chapter and begin a new one.

My three-year commitment to serve the Catholic Diocese of Damongo turned into five years of Love. Love of the village and the villagers. Love knowing that I was not just a “missionary” but someone’s granny, mama, auntie, sister, mentor. Love of the National Forest and the safaris I took; all ten of them. Love of St. Anne’s Girls Catholic Senior High School and all the girls who’s lives I touched. Sharing with them the importance of education; reading, writing, working and living together in harmony. Most importantly, sharing with them the Love I have for Christ, Mary his Mother, the Eucharist, the Rosary. 

As I bid farewell to the place that became my second home, and the anticipation of the next chapter to be written, I leave behind not just memories but the enduring belief that LOVE has no boundaries.
