At 3:30 Am Eastern Standard Time on Monday July 28th, Agness will enter the U.S. Embassy to apply for her student visa for the final time. The enormity of the situation has been bracketed in true Zambian fashion with moments of humor and joy. For example, Meghan has been conscripted by the City of Hope orphans to teach them the choreography to "We're all in this together" of High School Musical fame. Perhaps even more telling, if less contemporary, is the fact that an entire orphanage can sing the chorus of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio. More than working with AID's victims, hugging babies, shaking hands with lepers, or teaching philosophy...that is perhaps the greatest accomplishment of this lifetime... In any case, we living quite well on the hospitality of Franciscans. Please pray for Agness during the coming week. We now have a date and time for her judgment. Just under 9 days away for those of you inclined to Novenas.
Pietas,
Luke
The girls at City of Hope think I look like Victoria Beckham and Luke looks like Frodo. We had dinner last night with 9 other volunteers from Ireland, Austria, Germany, Spain and Ireland by candlelight bc we were lacking electricity. The power cuts out often here. One owl is still alive in our roof. Twix bars are the same here! The people are incredibly generous and loving and God willing you will all get to meet Agness. One more thing...we are in an internet cafe and the guy who works here has played the same rap song 16 times...i have been counting. I gotta get out of here.
Love you,
Meg
January 19th, Anno Domini 2008 we joined in the sacrament of matrimony. For all the days of our life we hope to share the vocation of love in our words and deeds.

I'm glad I decided to check this before I left the house. I'll be offering up mass for Agness this morning.
The same rap song 16 times is a lot. Unless it was that one that goes "Oh...we're halfway there...Whoa... Livin' on a prayer" That's a rap song isn't it?
will keep you all in our hopes and prayers... and waiting with hope for positive results....you two are awesome... keep up the good work.. great going Meghan.. you are such a trooper..am so proud of you....love you both muchly... Grandma laura
