In 2001 i went and lived in Kenya. While there I frequented a local internet cafe in the nearest large city about 1 hour away from where I lived. In this cafe there were some regulars who seamed to be there whenever I made the trip in to update the head office of the work I was doing and work on some project related stuff. One of the regulars was Mustafa. One day he wrote a little note and handed it to me when he left. It said he appreciated the music I was playing on my computer, it wasn't like the crap pop/r&b/rap from america that most tourists played while emailing. It happened to be some Christian worship music that someone lent me. I thought it was cool.

Our friendship really started after Mustafa requested to meet for coffee with me one day and asked me if I would come talk to the class he taught on psychology at his old muslim high school. He was going to do a talk on "positive thinking" and wanted to use me as an example. Apparently he thought I had a positive attidude, as far as he observed when I came into the cafe. I thought cool, I'd love to talk about how and why I have a "positive attitude". The story goes on and well I ended up talking about God, and how He has affected my perspective on life and is the source of any positive coming from me. It was cool.

After that we hung out every now and again when I had some time off. I even stayed at his families mansion and swam in his outdoor pool. I think Mustafa became one of my best friends in Kenya and we keep in touch even now.

Recently he got married and sent me some pics.



Blessings Mustafa
