"Are you lost?" You might have been wondering why I have so few entries on the blog. Well, internet is slow here in the hills of Atemo and the coursework has been heavy (18 hours) of teaching each week. But it is a joy. In the midst of this I am teaching 16 students at Matongo and 27 at Atemo Bible College. I have visited Transmara and supervising an intern student at the local congregation in Dago. During the last few weeks the students at Ringa Girls asked me, "Pastor, are you lost?" A strange phrase that I have finally got after being here for 4 months. It means, "where have you been?" It was good to hear that they missed their pastor who has had to have the evangelist fill in while he was in Dago and Transmara.
Our time here has truly been a joy. Last week we also met a few people from the LCMS who have been here for a hymnal conference at Matongo. Rev. Dr. William Schumacher from the St. Louis Seminary, a Deaconess working on the Hymnal project in Kenya and a few others. We also have Pastor Charlie Froh and his wife Jan at Matongo. Pr. Froh has been entertaining the students in the afternoon.
All is well in Atemo and we will do our best not to make you ask, "Are you lost?"
