*WHEN YOU WHERE THERE*
Episode 30.
    Mona enjoyed her fellowship with God and her change of attitude was noticeable.

    Felix's wife was buried and Kester was around for the burial.
 
    Brother you are strange o,
   You never told me you had an accident,
Kester quarried.

   Are you not tired of complaining,?
Felix joked as they laughed and hugged each other tight .

   I have joy,
My long long prayer have been answered
Felix said, looking at  Kester.

    Kester was smiling,
He knew where his older brother was going to.

   You are now saved!
Felix exclaimed.

As they both laughed.

   Tell me how it happened??
Felix questioned but went on,

   If someone had told me that you won't get saved on my account I wouldn't believe.
   I travailed in prayers for you day and night.

   I have preached to worst sinners and they got converted.
Buy you! Felix said, pointing at Kester who was just laughing,

How did it happened?
Felix asked, looking at Kester excitedly.

It's a miracle!
Kester said.

No way!! It has to take just more than a miracle to get you saved,
 Felix objected.
Tell me all about it.
Felix urged.

OK brother,
But we have all day and more together,
So let's talk about you,
Kester attacked.

    Kester, oftentimes don't like to share the testimony of his conversion because of Mona's part in the story, it makes him feel bad.

   Months in,
Felix stayed longer than expected in the city, though he and Mona often speak on phone.

One day, Mona called, and Kester was by Felix.

Hello Pastor Felix,
Mona's voice came through.

(Kester was reading papers and wasn't paying attention)

Aunty nurse,
Felix joked as always.

How have you been?
Felix asked,

    Good afternoon sir, Mona greeted,
Better than you left me, Mona replied.

   When are you coming?
Mona asked immediately.

   When do you been want me to come?
Felix replied,
Smiling.

   Today!
Mona said laughing.

   Give me 5 reasons why I should come today,
Felix replied.

One,
Because I miss you,
Two....
And Felix cuts in.

   That's a selfish reason na,
Give me good reasons,
Felix joked.

Ehen, so my missing you is selfish and not good enough,
Mona said, pretending to be angry.

Yes o,
Felix replied, sounding serious.

   Or should I go to the head of missions and tell him to release me because aunty nurse is missing me?
Felix joked.

(Now Kester is wondering who is keeping his elder brother so long on phone.
He had noticed that his brother often pick this call that makes him laugh and stay long on phone, and he was certain it has to be a lady on the phone, so he decided to pay attention.)

OK... Mona continued,

   There's a soul am working on here, and I need you to help me,
Mona said.

   Me I don't like that kind of evangelism o,
Because if this soul is won now, to whose account will it be credited?
Felix joked.

   You are selfish by default,
Mona laughed.
So it's about the stars on your crown eh, Mona questioned.

Yes na,
Before nko?
Felix replied.

Whichever reason, the gospel must be preached.
Mona replied.

So are you coming??
Mona continued.

   I'll pray about it, and get back to you,
Felix said, feeling good.

(Kester was still paying attention but can only hear Felix's part of the conversation)

    Mona laughed.

   Pray about what??
Coming to the village?
You joke too much jorh.
Mona said again and laughed.

    I'll be there by the end of the month,
Felix said.

   But the month is just starting now,
Mona quarreled.

   I know dear,
Felix said.
And I understand that you miss me,
Felix added, laughing scornfully.

   Don't worry,
I'll be there soon,
Felix said.

   You are so full of yourself, Mona said smiling.

I miss you.
Felix diverted.

OK, God bless you brother in Christ.
Mona replied as they both laughed.

(Kester can no longer wait for the call to be over, he wants to ask questions.)

   How's golden?
Felix asked.

   She's fine,
She's a big girl now, making attempts to walk,
Don't you know you've been away for so long?
Mona questioned.

I'll be back soon dear,
Felix consoled.

   Please send a kiss to her for me,
Felix added.

   OK I will.
Make sure you take care of yourself, and don't think too much,
Mona advised.

   Felix smiled.
I'll call you later,
Felix replied and ended the call.

   Kester coughed and cleared his throat.

Brother who was that?
Kester asked immediately,
Looking at Felix who still have smiles all over his face.

  To be continued.....

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant 'De-starch (or Destarch) the leaves of a potted plant' is one of the preliminary steps in a  photosynthesis experiment . Biology students often ask the following questions about de-starching. What is  the definition of de-starching? Why it is necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? What happens to the starch stores when the potted plant is deprived of light or carbon dioxide? How to de-starch the leaves of a plant? What is the definition of de-starching? De-starching is the process by which the starch reserves in a plant are depleted by depriving the plant of either light or carbon dioxide.  Why is it necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? We test for the presence  of starch  in leaves in order to determine that photosynthesis has occurred. Glucose -  the product of photosynthe

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils The  Ethanol Emulsion Test  is a  food test  which determines the presence of a broad group of naturally occurring compounds known as  lipids . Lipids consist of  fats  and  oils . Other lipid tests include the  Grease Spot Test  and the  Sudan Stain Test . The Grease spot test is performed on fats - lipids which are solid at room temperature. Sudan stain colours lipids red, but is a less common bench reagent than ethanol. The Ethanol Emulsion Test is the most common test amongst the three. Procedure Solid sample  Crush  the food sample and place in a dry test tube. Add ethanol  to about 2 cm3 above the level of the sample and shake thoroughly. Allow the solid to  settle  (about 3 min) to allow the lipid to be extracted. Decant  the ethanol into another test tube. Add 2 cm3 of  deionized water  to the second test tube Make observations. Liquid sample Add a  few drops  of the liquid food sample to a dry te
