Wednesday Schedule

On Tuesday we were in a bit of a stand still, because the key would not turn in the van, but it happened after George our driver got David and Jerry to their worksite and he had returned. Carol gave him money to take a Boda Boda (Motorcycle Taxi) to a repairman and bring him back to the van at the Hotel. The starter stwitch was fixed, so he was able to go back and pick up the men. Our Hotel is only about one quarter of a mile from the Hotel where we teach, so we usually just walk down to the classes and walk back. We only need George through the day if Jim needs his pizza at the Source Cafe or if someone wants to go to Bank or shopping. That was the only eventful thing to happen. Len has had four of five of the pastors to preach and they are following his instructions fairly well. Now we are giving tests and many of us stay up late grading their tests. Yesterday was a long day for the Pastors, after our discussion time at 5:00 I teach one more hour of my class and then the Dean of Superintendents wished to meet with them about how they will implement this program once we are gone, since they will be training the other pastors. That took them to 8:00 when they had Dinner and then at 9:00 to begin homework. As we have said this is preparing some of them to realize what University work will be like. Six different subjects and six different assignments. You can tell the pastors are getting tired, and some of them have had to leave for a funeral and come back. One who has malaria has had to leave go to the doctor, pick up medicine and come back to the school. One pastor has a son who has malaria and he had to go home and pay for his child to be in hospital with medicine drip. We have helped each of these pastors with funds for travel and medicines. The needs are so great, and we have tried to help in each situation, but we know we can not meet every need. Continue to pray for us as we are looking at the last few days of License to Preach, grading and giving grades, encouraging the pastors for the load upon their shoulders to pastor, take care of family, find work for income, and now go and train other pastors. This is all they needed was to have another hat to wear. Pray for the Pastors. We can't wait to eat American Food. In Christ Byron
