Year 6.3 took an emotional toll on coworkers and members. On Monday I had lunch with a Y young man who is planning to go to Canada with his family and a few fellow alum families. The exodus has truly begun.
Day two was tense because I had my third and final round of talks with a coworker to see if he’s returning. I am glad my preaching week was behind me.
Wednesday was day leaders meeting. At the end of the meeting I was persuaded to inform them of a coworker leaving, but the chair didn’t know how to respond.
Day four was working in translations at night and two different sermons coming up at end of the month in mandarin and English. It’s tricky but I thrived in these challenges.
Friday’s meeting didn’t end good when a coworker shared emigration plans. We had lunch and the matter was not brought up again.
On day six noon I invited an unhappy coworker to talk and the person didn’t like the way the the person handled it in front of all.
Sunday’s Ecclesiastes 4 Sunday school was full of tears. Over lunch a youth disappeared crying. I attended a funeral with buddy who invited me to dinner. The couple is a family to me. At night coworker said the persons happiness scale is 2/10. Sigh.
