Bryan wanted to write this, but his right eye is almost swollen shut (an allergy?) and his other eye is beginning to bother him too, so typing would be difficult. Prayer would be appreciated as this is the 3rd day with no sign of improvement.
What is an average day like for Bryan...
Wake up between 6:45-7am. Get ready and have breakfast with the family and at 7:30 walk to the Khotso baby house to pick up a girl for school. He drives her to school in one of BG's bakkies (truck) and has about 20 kids who stand at the fence and stare at him while he waits for her school to start. He then gives her a knuckle bump and sends he on her way to school and picks up one of the staff who lives by the school and drives back to BG.
Once he gets into the office he goes into crisis mode by finding out what problems have popped up since yesterday and has to try to figure out how to fix them. He has various meetings with staff members. As of late, he has been helping out the finance department as much as possible trying to catch them up on their books.
On various days, he is able to attend tea time at 10:30am. He goes back to work till lunch at 12:30pm and them picks the BG girl back up from school at 1pm. He handles other various issues that arise until most of the staff go home at 4pm and then enjoys a quiet hour of work till 5pm when he comes home.
He then takes the very long commute across the lawn (hahaha) to get home and see what I have planned for the evening. About 2 nights a week we go get groceries (our fridge is much smaller than what we had before). Then he enjoys the rest of the evening with the family.
HE has not had 2 days that are the same since starting working here so it is hard to describe a typical day. Some days he feels like he is on "crisis mode" all day and is exhausted at the end of work, but other days are rewarding like when there is an adoption or when he gives a tour and explains BG to someone new. All in all it keeps him busy but is worth it to further God's kingdom here at Beautiful Gate!
