It was a great adventure and I am sure a bit surreal when MCF picked up Don in Thika and I greeted him. Two Canadians meeting 8 time zones from Canada in a town called Thika.
I had the real pleasure to introduce Don to the driveway at MCF. After the 2 hour hot dusty drive to Sophia, and then the African massage drive to MCF, Don was gob smacked at what he experience at the great MCF Ndalani gate and the driveway.
I then with great joy introduced him to Mother and Dr. Mulli.
The afternoon was delightful as Dr. Charles was the quintessential host. With lots of Q and A, an hour performance with the Mission choir, and videos for visitors MCF in different campuses, Don was well introduced to MCF.
In the evening I left Don and went to join the Sing and Swing evening with the high school. The assembly was delighted to greet me, and I really felt at home. Several students came over to greet me personally, to sit with me, to tease me, and translate the play for me. Upon hearing I had arrived, Paster Mercy and Pastor Jennifer came over to greet me. The outpouring of love and affections from the group was palpable. What a humbling experience to be recipient of such love and trust. Wow: a Kairos moment!
I watched dancing and drama. This is the night of devotions when the students show off creativity. Retired to my old cabin, debriefed with Don and crashed solidly until 0640. I even took a hot water shower and let the air-conditioning run to cool off. Hot water and air-conditioning, boy am I being spoilt!
