From Hanga, Tanzania to Oregon?

Last night we stayed with some friends in Klamath Falls, OR. Ben met Terri this summer when he was back in Tanzania with a group of students from Saint John's and Terri was with a group of engineers without borders from Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls where she teaches Math! When Ben told Terri about the road trip later in the summer and that he would be passing through Oregon she said that he and his friend had to stay in K Falls. So we did :)

Thank you very much Terri and your family for your wonderful hospitality. It was a great stop! We are only sorry that we didn't even get a picture before we left.

But we did get to go over to meet another friend for breakfast.

Before we left Klamath Falls we stopped by to see some other friends from Hanga. There is a connection between this town in Oregon and Hanga monastery because Fr. Ildefonce is a parish priest in town and he is also a monk of Hanga Abbey! Also living in town is Br. Nolasco who is a monk of Hanga and just graduated from St. Martin's in Washington last May. Instead of going back to Tanzania after graduation, Nolasco was able to stay in Oregon to help Ildefonce with some projects.

It was great to connect over Tanzania!
