Return to Letters from the PilgrimsReturn to The Pilgrimage
Dear Sister Clare and pilgrim family,
We love and miss you. This is our first day back to Dakar. A lot has been going on. Whhat are your plans for returning. We need to know ASAP because we are working hard for a stay place in Goree and unless we have a firm date of your return nothing can happen. We do not suggest that you walk back to Dakar as we are getting much information here regarding places to go in Senegal that may of more interest to us - for example Casamance and Guinea-Bissau (we are living with a woman who is the cousin to a woman in the military there and we plan to speak with her - she suggests that we come there).
We've tried calling you but we keep getting a recording saying it is the wrong number.
We are getting lots and lots of help on Goree - many angels. But angels as they are they need dates. When you arrive in Dakar come right to the dock. We are also setting up something at the Diop University to speak with students studying English.
Maire Jo Sanchez, a Cabo Verde woman, whom we are living with is letting us use her phone and giving us lots of information. She speaks English. You will love here family.
We have been thinking of you so much and of course sending big prayers. It is so hard to be apart so come back to us soon - as your public awaits and your new angel brother Attou.
Love
Akiba and Ingrid
