I have about a month before my departure from Malawi. I got the idea to trace the names of all those people who have staked my career over the past ten years, at least those I named my first since Letter from Malawi written September 27, 2001. I have listed 190 of which are fellow missionaries, missionary interns, volunteers, international cooperation, priests, bishops, cardinals and nuncios, nuns and Protestant pastors, theologians and philosophers, journalists and writers African traditional chiefs, queens and princesses in Europe, artists, singers and professional photographers, politicians, ambassadors, consuls and agents of the CIA, not to mention the Malawians, women, men and children and members of my family and distant friends. In all, I traced 22 nationalities among which are both Christians than Muslims, Jews and followers of traditional African religions.
This illustrates the shading of my travel journal. As the morning dew spreads her pearls on a spider web, referring to a diamond necklace under the sun, not only my letters turned into a diamond necklace under the large canvas of the Internet but also the discovery of such different people adds even more beauty to the fabric of life of human relations.
What's the latest?

The small Maureen who has burned his hand last year was often sick. Despite the dedication of her father to provide him with adequate health care, it remains very fragile.

The maize harvest this year is excellent. The danger of famine, as happened in 2002, is rejected. Even with the sale price rather down, production surpluses allow some families to get money to improve their existence, or to pay school fees for children.
The world is a vast canvas that globalization intensifies. We are all partners of the same journey, the same destiny. Alongside the African farmer to a few large 'worldly', I had the privilege of living a great adventure in Malawi. The difficulties have not failed; learning Chichewa, adaptation to different places apostola
t setbacks with my car and also accessibility to the Internet precarious, as is happening now for over a week, and finally some minor health problems. All this does not surpass the satisfaction of participating in the mystery of love with Him, Jesus, who trace our paths ever. By reading these few lines, you understand that this is the last letter that I send you from Malawi. Thank you for tracking and hope to see you on one or the other thread of the fabric of the world.
Goodbye
