Mikko in Mombasa

March 31, 2005

Carrying a backpack, with plastic bags in my hands, I was musing on the weight of the school books and Bibles in the plastic bags. I was on my way to work from meeting Catherine at her office. She had filled out a part of my application to Daystar University. (website: Daystar University) The Christian college demands credentials from a pastor or Christian leader on the applicant's character etc. Bachelor of Business Administration -degree is missing an international academic term, which should be completed soon before the program alters conclusively.

Poor planning! I thought as I walked along with my bags. It doesn't seem all that wise to drag all this stuff in the heat of the day from one side of town to the other, on my way to work from Camp David. Maybe someone else could have gone to buy the books in the morning... The dirt road had finally come to an end and I continued the walk on blacktop toward the main road. The first matatu passes me from behind... full. Another matatu... also full. The third one elegantly pulls over right in front of my nose and picks me up.

For the past month I have been going from place to place. There have been evangelistic meetings in Mombasa and Muranga. There has been video filming here and there. On Tuesday, I stayed home resting and didn't answer the phone.

I've heard it said that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
