Saturday afternoon and evening

once we arrived in Kilwa--via a temporary road under construction==filled with huge holes, the warm welcome of the people of All Saints Kilwa was overwhelmingly wonderful and generous. This parish at the Indian Ocean is different from those we have seen before--because it has the fishin indu\stry and some have employment.  After the welcome and service at the church, we went by boat to Kilwa ruins to see the Arab buildings left behind from the time of the slave trade.  some buildings 1000 years old.    Bishop was presented with an ebony crozier and we both received clothing in the anniversary cloth of the diocese of mMasasi.  We have been humbled yet again by the hospitality of the faith of the people.  God's blessings.
