titles are overrated

Hey all,

Everything is still going well here. Like D said, Kieran arrived yesterday, and it's been great to have him here. Yesterday was my first time meeting him, and he's a great guy, so I'm sure we'll get along great. He went with Felicien today to get his baggage from Kenya Airways, so he's now fully here.

I think I mentioned something before about the way that time is viewed here, but it's really central to our lives right now. Punctuality is nonexistent. It's kind of funny because at times, Felicien says things to his church about wanting them to be on time to service, but I'm not even sure they really understand what that means.

There's a lot that I've been working on regarding starting businesses to help the church, but it would be very difficult to get into that in detail here, so you'll have to wait until we get back to the States for that. In brief, I'm working on a model which would start a business in an entity separate from the church, but the profits from which would flow into the church. I need to check on a lot of legal and practical things, but it looks like this might become reality soon.

I guess that's about all for now. Tomorrow we're going to visit the Pygmies and take them a massive amount of food. I accidentally bought twice as much rice and beans as I should have, so they'll have plenty. How was I supposed to know that the bags we wanted were 50 kg instead of 100 kg? Oh, well, more food for them.

ciao
