\"Merry<\/a>Chers amis, Juste pour vous souhaiter \u00e0 tous une bonne f\u00eate de No\u00ebl et une heureuse ann\u00e9e 2015.\u00a0<\/em>Dear friends, Just to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year 2015.\u00a0<\/em><\/span>Sylvain Yam\u00e9ogo, Missionnaire d’Afrique<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To all the members of the SAP and especially the members of the Zambia Sector:\u00a0I wish you all a Merry and Holy Christmas and Happy New Year.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>I have been happy to read the last Motomoto, especially to read what happens in Zambia and still happier to hear what concerns the diocese of Chipata. And I want to say thanks to Bernard Udelhoven and the Finger of Thomas for the seminar held in Lumimba Parish during the month of October (They must have sweated a lot!!!) Thanks also to the community of Kalongwezi: I can see that Jo, as a good fellow with good legs, is putting life and true joy in Navutika. I thank also the other members of Kalongwezi community for keeping on working in the Vinyard: Henk, Dave (my tween brother), Jean-Luc and others. I am happy to hear that a Preparatory Center is under construction near Chipata: sign of hope for the future.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

As for me, poor exile in Paris, m<\/span>y heart is still in Zambia, as you can guess, though I try to put my heart in the little I do here.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When I pray the rosary, the last decade is always said in Tumbuka or in Nyanja for Zambia. And I am always delighted when I receive news from one or the other confr\u00e8res still in Zambia.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Chiuta wamutuwiskeni mose…Mulungu akudalitseni inu nonse… God bless you all\u00a0Edouard Morisson<\/strong>, M.Afr<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope these few words will find you in a good health. I am always very happy to be able to read the news from SAP and also some news from Zambia through few friends. That help me to keep in contact and help me also in my prayers.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Here in Paris, I means in rue Friant, where I am since almost three years now, I am fine following my heart operation even if there is a few problems, but we do with them and I thank the Lord for all.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Here at rue Friant we have a small Zambian community with our students: Stanislas and Jones and Edouard and myself. Most of our visitors are from West Africa, very few from East.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Even in retirement I am still busy as responsible of the reception at our house. We are three or four cooperating in this work every day from\u00a07 o\u2019clock\u00a0in the mourning up to 21 hours in the evening and this asked coordination. I am also secretary of the meetings of this community. I have also some other activities as for example the mass in the home for elderly and sick people, or the mass for the surrounding people in our chapel.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Another activity is, every\u00a0Sunday\u00a0evening from 17.30 hours to 20.15 hours, we are a small group of about 10 volunteers distributing food to poor people and strangers. Last Sunday we had nearly 400 meals to be given, a very substantial meal. But this start to be difficult for me because it is too long standing serving those people.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My best greeting to all and once more Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may my prayers be a blessing to you from our Lord.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
