This morning the routine of MCF for me began in earnest.  First thing I reported to the morning assembly to deliver a word of encouragement.  I chose to discuss Gratitude.  And gratitude I felt in great force when the assembly honoured my presence by singing Canada's National Anthem following the Kenyan National Anthem.  The Mission choir assembled to do just that.  I was moved to tears.  

After the Assembly I gathered my thoughts and my teaching binder in order to meet with Paster Mercy about Sunday's Service.  Then a meeting with Walter about the LED projector gift from St. David and St. Martin Church members. Then a meeting with the Principal to coordinate the schedule.  Finally I had consultations with a number of students from last year's workshop.  My workshops begin Monday and I will be running the Mully Model Leadership Workshop every morning for about two weeks, 3 sessions/day.

There are 10 new teachers to the Secondary School and the Principal is eager that they attend the workshop.

Jesse joined the grade 12 class for the whole day and found it a unique and wondrous experience.  Typically MCF, he is warmly welcomed as if he were a "new rescue."  They encouraged him to join their basketball pick up games and showed him their quarters and how they lived.  He had the chance to sit with a small group discussing Canada and his experience as grade 12 student like them.

My meeting with the Principal gave me the chance to take notes about the content of the school: curriculum, teachers' qualifications, supplies/equipment, and outcome standings nationally.  A new Mully Narrative in the making.

School was out at 1600 hrs.  The head acrobat coach invited us to watch the team practice.  There is a Mully Narrative in this extraordinary talent development program.
