I will tell you about
Br Brian but first I will tell you about two types of people, then you put him
where you wish. People come up with various analyses of people and number these
personalities. I also want to put down mine. Research can be done later by
scientists about these two types. First
is what I will call the face value speakers and second are the authentic
speakers. Face value speakers will tell you everything they deem right for that
moment even if they do not mean it. They will make the listener feel good. They
make the listener feel like a hero, while they mean none of their words. On the
other hand, authentic speaker are usually scrooge with words. They don't see
the need to talk if it is not true and if they don't mean it. They can be
quite boring and that is why we don’t want them much around us. Who want to get
bored anyway? As a matter of fact, it is not easy to make a quiet man laugh or
be made laugh by one. Brian is different because his laughter flows like a river
which makes those around him helpless. Do you know the type of people who make
you laugh not by the story they tell but by their hilarious laughters that
carry you along even before they tell the story? Br Brian!
Today being a Friday,
we hit the road to Laini, a small village in our parish. On our way back Brian is
engrossed in a very rib cracking conversation with an elderly sister in our company.
It is her first experience in the village. Brian keeps teasing her about her
powerful teaching. Unlike Brian who had only met two Christians that afternoon,
sister had met an approximate number of not less than fifteen. So Brian tells
sister that his was very boring. Sister on the other hand says hers was
exciting because it had many people. So he says,"sister ukiongea na watu
wengi, eti unaskia vizuri sana?" The way he made it sound is like the Sister had felt a good tide around her body like one who is seated on a merry go round
swing! Even before he could finish the sentence, the sister had already admitted
with a big YES, sending us all into hysterical laughter and Brian keeps fueling
it with his laughter.
