Those Dominos Have Legs

December 19, 2023

As a blog post from Uganda mentions below, when I was there last spring, I introduced the game of Dominos to a boarding school run by the Benedictines, and we had a tournament. The first prize was a soccer ball, which was won by the sole girl among the competitors. Other prizes were sets of Domino bones used in the contest. Today I received this message from the monk of Montserrat, Father Sergi d’Assís, who works there:

“Un dels premiats del teu campionat de dòmino!!! El va portar a casa seva, en va ensenyar als seus germans i gaudeixen jugant-hi!!”
(One of the winners of your Dominos championship!!! He carried it home and taught his siblings, and they enjoy playing!!)

So don’t tell me I’m not an effective missionary!
