Note: I never use people’s real names:
Tuesday .. an early start as Dave shares his tears and feelings of dejection of yesterday along with a CV improvement; going through First Steps (a booklet explaining what it means to be a Christian) with Balbir, a Sikh with lots of questions and more than an interest in Christianity; just as we are finishing a lady who has just begun classes this week comes in needing a pair of shoes (she has only been in the country five weeks.) Unfortunately there are no ladies’ shoes in our store today. Then Mikhail wants some help as he is mastering a few computer skills (hard work but he is getting there now); then two beginner readers arrive at 12:30. This is pleasure as one of them is my most–grateful Chinese friend; today we read and write ‘I am at the class;’ yes, and he looks so pleased as he leaves; a quick lunch over brotherhood (team get-together at 1:30pm each Tuesday) and then ‘English for Work, with a fair amount of hilarity (I was acting out what the word ‘unreliable’ means .. I usually end up acting to explain unknown words) and finally … home to agapé (love feast) … the haven of brotherhood … much needed too. Where else do we find, except there, the fuel and fire needed .. for another day?
