I’m the Priest’s secret weapon!

The priest at the mission is building a new sanctuary. A large part of the shell has already been built and left for more than a year. Now a new crew is coming and the priest is asking if I can’t provide a bit of encouragement to the guys to work faster. The thought is that coming from a white guy here in Semonkong people will listen. A pleading voice asking if the guys will finish the church quickly is because I am leaving in a year and want to see it finished. At one point I couldn’t tell if he really was serious or whether I was actually being asked to keep on them about their work. I’m not a foreman, get outta here! I also am pretty sure nothing happens fast around here.
