Friday - October 31
Early Friday morning found us once again heading for Kajiado town for our Kajiado District workers meeting. We knew we would be facing some challenges, having to confront the gossip and rumours being spread to discredit our district coordinator so left with many prayers.
When we arrived, the District Adult Education Officer for the government was giving a talk to our workers in regard to the literacy program in that district. He offered a lot of support and has agreed to hold a training session for all of our workers, free of charge. Another blessing.
God is so awesome how He chooses to answer prayers. I had prayed that God's Spirit would speak the right words for dealing with the issue of the coordinator and put it to rest once and for all. Suffice it to say, God answered our prayers in a great way. Issues were dealth with and put to rest. Through it all, there remained a sweet spirit that only God could have provided. Unfortunately we had to let one of the workers go, due to his actions but even that turned into a good ending without harsh feeling but with a cooperative and repentant spirit.
It always takes an hour or more to get out the door as one by one workers want a private word, but by 4:30 we were finally on our way home. Marlin has been here a week already and we have yet to spend time alone to talk and enjoy each other's company. So, at the end of the meeting I let the workers know I am now off duty and the time now belongs to my husband. Back at the house, we said goodby to our guest, Anne as she caught a ride back to Nairobi to stay with friends until she leaves for the states on Tuesday.
