Mombasa

The short hop to Mombasa from Dar es Salaam via Zanzibar (15 minutes to Zanzibar, then 50 minutes further to Mombasa) was uneventful, thank God! Though the weather made for some bumpy ride over Zanzibar Channel and on our final to Moi International Airport in Mombasa.


Took some pictures on my mobile to share with you the sights of the journey and the beauty of this part of the world, East African coast of Indian Ocean. I've seen it so many times, but never cease to marvel at the beauty of God's masterpiece... Check for yourselves...

I was lucky to fly the newest ATR-42 in Precision Air fleet (this plane has been in service since late February this year)

Sister of the Congregation of St. Joseph welcomed me at the airport and took to their Generalate here in Mombasa. In a short while I will celebrate a Holy Mass for them, then tomorrow we will travel to Bura in Taita Mountains, half way distance to Nairobi, to the Motherhouse of the Congregation to begin first our three days seminar and then immediately a full week retreat for the second group of sisters (the first group I gave a seminar and a retreat right after the Divine Mercy Sunday this year in the second part of April). Looking forward to this seminar and retreat. Praying for all of you and counting on your kind prayers too. I need them very much. The sisters need them very much too... God bless us all!
