ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter
COT: shared letter from F3 Safari

Good morning my brother.
My name is Phelix Obuya (F3 Safari), born and raised in Kenya. Iwas born in abject poverty to an extent that we rarely had two meals. I wore my first pair of shoes when going to High school. Iwas born in a family of 7 but 5 of us died, my late dad included, therefore it is my 78 year old mum, my brother Chris and I who are alive. Am 48 years old and have been a member of F3 since 2020.
I hold 2 Master Degrees in Strategic Management and Community Studies and have worked with diverse organizations. Chaplain Steven Hubbard and I founded a Foundation and got it incorporated in Kenya this year. Damien’s Hope Foundation as it is called follows the ethos of the late St. Damien of Molocai, a Belgium Catholic priest who died while serving lepers. We therefore are dedicated to work with the “modern day lepers” who are needy and aren’t capable of meeting their basic needs in the society.
Damien’s Hope doesn’t have any kind of funding at the moment but we rely on personal contributions and goodwill.I do my apostolate on foot because many times I never have even cash to pay for transport. Having gone through very tough times in life moved me to found Damien’s Hope Foundation,
The reason am writing this mail is to sincerely thank you, Brother Patrick Lloyd, Fort Mill AO, Lake Wylie AO and Rock Hill AO plus any other person of goodwill who mobilized clothes, shoes and all the beautiful and valuable items that were received with gratitude to support our local F3 members and the needy in this community.
Allow me to conclude that by quoting from the Gospel of Mathew 25:35-40 that whatever you did, it was Jesus who benefited through your amazing support. We have received even some financial contribution that has always been handy in providing food and transportation to the pax who do not have any source of income and I always say, “Glory Be to God.”
Without taking much of your time let me take this humble opportunity on behalf of F3, Langata Kenya to THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THE GREAT WORK AND SERVICE TO THE NEEDY.
Never leave no man behind, don’t leave a man where you found him.
Be blessed.
Your humble Brother,
Phelix (Safari)

Working to 38 (or 19) at Pantheon

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We ran around the big loop with the occasional plank at the corners to bring the group back together. After the lap, as a group, 38 SSH I/C, Merkins 19 I/C, Flutters 38 I/C, Squats 19 I/C.
Then, run the loop again.
THE THANG: With cones set up 76yds apart and cones at the mid-point (38yds), grab a partner. As a rehash of J-WOW’s expertise from the Thanksgiving Convergence, we did the Partner Push from one end to the mid-point (38yds). Then your partner would push on the return. Complete this 5 times.
Now, get on the opposite end from your partner, 76yds apart. Bear crawl to the middle, 5 partner merkins, run back to your end, 19 Mountain Climbers I/C. Then repeat.
Now, get into 2 lines, facing your partner.
19 Carolina Dry Docks I/C
19 Diamond Merkins I/C
19 American Hammers I/C
19 Squats I/C
19 Calf Raises I/C
On the curb, 19 Mike Tysons I/C

ANNOUNCEMENTS: After nearly 3 years as our Pantheon Site Q, 38 Special has graced me with the Shovel Flag of this special site. To say I am excited is an understatement and there are more good things in store for this AO on the West side of our mill town. I’ll be recruiting past Site Q’s to join me in taking a flag; it’s time.

COT: You had to be there but I will say this, be emotionally present, not just physically present.
Until next time,

Days like today remind us of the value of friendship. Today would have sucked if I were left alone in the Gloom. I would’ve probably quit early or stayed in bed had it not been for a commitment to the men waiting on me. When things get tough and you want to quit, how will you ACT?

Are you Accountable – can you be relied upon?
Are you Committed – will you finish what you start?
Can you be Trusted – does the team know you have their back?
We are known not but what we say, but what we do/how we ACT. These men keep me on track. They help me ACT right. And I’m thankful for them.

Aye!
