TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  You are told when you are about to do something.  You are not told beforehand so that you have information for a while.  You are told at the time you are to execute something.  So if you are to go out with askaris you are told before the time.  But I mean long before then, while you are at the farm, you are not told that you are going to do such things, or go out with these people until such time as an instruction is to be executed.  Then only are you told about it.
