Sister Bibi

 

This is Bibi Jamilla Majid. She is the CES supervisor in the Canje District. She has two daughters who live with her, Rianna who is 13 and Nazima who is 29. She is worried about Nazima getting married. Our friendship has gone way beyond our association in CES. She calls me about once a week and I call her. She makes me laugh. We have found that we have much in common. Her home is a wood house on stilts. With her own hammer and nails, she "fixed it up". It did not have glass windows when she first moved in, so she put windows in. She also fixed the roof. I admire her tenacity. When Brother Gamiette asked us to train Sister Bibi so that she could run the district without us, we didn't know how we were going to deal with that. Bibi knew she needed access to a computer at home. The internet cafe was unreliable. She wrote to her ex-husband (in the states) and explained that Rianna needed a computer to do her school work. In six weeks, they had a computer. Now to get the internet. Nazima works for an office supply house and she told them, she could do work from home if she had the internet at home. They agreed. It was miraculous to see how all of this fell together. Sister Bibi has done all of the attendance for April. Next month, she'll do the attendance and the priesthood report. The Lord certainly does go before us.
