Grade 25.25

I'm spending some wonderful days with my sister Colleen and her husband Tim at their mountain home in Winter Park, Colorado. This morning I woke up to the following email:

Dear Fr. Martin,

Many greetings from Language and Orientation School. We have received your application form and the copies of residency permit,passport, and letter to the Immigration office from Dodoma.

The registration process has started and the letter and other documents have already been taken to the Immigration office today.

So, on September 4th I begin a three-month course in Kiswahili. For me the program will amount to grade 25 1/4 -- never enough education!
