We began the mission with a session at Wo'merera, a ninety minute drive from Dongora where we were staying. It was held in a tent that was overflowing.
As nobody spoke any English, beyond a smattering of it, I had to use a translator; an over enthusiastic local named Johannes, who would be with us right through the trip.
I didn't think I was my best, but as Fr. Paulo, an Italian missionary who had been in the country for over 25 years and had organized my missions, thought it was very good, who was I to complain?
In the evening I had another session with some youth and I think I succeeded in inspiring some of them to go out into the vineyard and do some harvesting!
