Mr. Brown's Diary

From a humble servant of God,

The mission of preaching our religion in this land, swollen with impurity and disbelief, is more important than anyone could believe. These men that seem so unnatural to our fellow messengers of the queen are very similar to us, and an excess of zealotry or fanaticism is not going to help us purge their sins. We must be humble servants of god and not impose our religion with a frontal attack, like an army of heavily armed knights with sharp spears and swords, but shall we be patient and bring a small doses of our Father’s panacea every day, and we will see the change take place.

I think Mr. Kiaga would agree with me, I have visited his little church in Mbanta and he seems to be taking it through a good pathway. He is strong and resilient to the adverse tempest winds that are presented against him...

May the will of the Lord lie in our hearts,

I cannot explain the reason behind the clan’s action, but I may say I suspect they have begun respecting me to some point. They even presented me a carved elephant tusk! It is supposed to be a very noble symbol to them... I try my best to follow God’s word and keep our devotees in line. A couple of them have incredible ideas, but they may bring trouble with the tribes and I am meant to prevent that as much as it is in my power.

I dialogue with important figures of the tribe, and I think I have made a significant progress with my idea of founding a school. Some of them seemed to be reluctant at first, but step by step, they are turning out to be a great acquisition to the converting power!

Today I maintained incredibly interesting and fructiferous conversation with the great man Akunna. I have received knowledge about their religion copiously, and although it does not convince me completely... It does have its basics on a similar logic as ours.

Joyful days will come to us,

Indeed, they have started heading our way. Change in the hearts of these people has begun sprouting and now it can be respected as completely noticeable. The villagers have started considering the schools I founded important! I suspect they see how it brings peace to the mind and bliss to the soul, apart from some interesting job positions! Haha!

I know that time runs through the veins as poisonous as spider venom, and it is getting to me little by little, but I shall not let this feeling of uncertainty in my bones get to my heart! I shall serve the Lord until the end of my days...Although the time foreseen of heading back to England draws near. I feel responsible and blissful for the effectiveness of the religion in this land. We still have some problems, but they will solve over time.

As I always preached, the small doses of our God’s will have converted the villagers and I think they are beginning to understand the supremacy of our Lord.
