The following letter is her accounting of this meeting:
November 25, 2010
Nazareth House Apostolate
185 Captains Cove Drive
Taylorsville, Kentucky 40071
At 9 p.m. this evening, as I walked distracted through the airport after visiting friends, I was stopped by a banner with the name “James Mansaray” and “Nazareth House Apostolate.” I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. Could this be the same organization whose web site I visit regularly? I hesitated to approach the people holding the banner, but am glad I did as they urged me to introduce myself. I was absolutely thrilled to meet Mama Vicki, Father Seraphim, and James Mansaray – the people whose work I have admired and whose words and photos have touched me for the past couple of years.
I had to write you how much that short meeting meant to me. A wonderful visit with friends in the days before today and then returning home and seeing you, meeting you, reminded me again that I have much for which to be thankful. What a great Thanksgiving day!
Your organization shows there are indeed people who care and put their hearts and souls into good works. I wish I could do more. If you ever need volunteers in Louisville, please let me know and perhaps I can be some help.
Again, thank you so very much,
L.B., Louisville, KY 40201
Dear L.B.,
I must tell you that the pleasure of that meeting was all ours, you gave us so much encouragement. It was a real honor to meet you. Truly it was a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
God bless you and thank you for your love and support,
-Mama Vicki
