Okay, so not a whole lot has happened since I posted yesterday, but I have a HUGE prayer request! Today, I went to Neema HOuse and greeted everyone. After the greetings, I found out that Mama Victor's home had been broken into. She got up in the morning (fairly early) and left her "house" (room) to go to the bathroom. She had to leave the door ( Read more... )

Okay, so it's MOnday. My last update was Friday, when we got back from Bagamoyo. I don't have anything as thrilling as my stories from Bagamoyo, but I figure that I should update you a little bit. Saturday was a day of complete relaxation. I read a little bit, wrote in my personal journal (which I must say I've been doing really well at keeping ( Read more... )

Okay, so I’ve been gone for a little while and we have a lot of catching up to do… I think I left off on Good Friday. Last Saturday really wasn’t very exciting and not worth taking up precious space for, so I’ll start with Easter Sunday. Okay, there isn’t any Easter candy, there aren’t any Easter eggs, there’s no dye to dye eggs, and let’s just ( Read more... )

Okay, so Friday started out a slow day. I was able to get caught up on emails, reading, and planning a little bit of my lesson plan for next week. We left the house around 2pm to go to Neema House and get things set up for our evening Good Friday service. On our way, we saw a group of Muslims standing together dressed to go to the Mosque. We ( Read more... )

Okay, so I got all of the pictures off my camera and the ones I thought you'd enjoy most on my snapfish album. They are now all facing the right direction, labeled properly, and in order! I'd have to say that I am proud of the fact that I was able to do it all in one night. A lot of work, but I think you'll enjoy them! Let me know what you think! ( Read more... )

Okay!  So I'm hoping that this will work!  Here is the link to my first set of photos.  I have more pictures but just didn't have time to get them all online.  I figure that some pictures are better than none.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!  You'll hear from me again soon.  http://www.snapfish.com/share/p=484221111526891229/l=44490080/otsc= ( Read more... )

As the title says, my email and the internet have been having problems. So, if you don’t hear from me as regularly, that’s why. Okay, I think my last update was on Friday. Saturday was pretty uneventful as well. I stayed home and planned my lesson for the teenage girls' Bible study at Team Meeting. There are three teenage girls - 13, 15, and ( Read more... )

Hello all! How’s life back in the States? Things are still going great here. Friday and Saturday are my two days off, so they are pretty relaxing and uneventful - nothing like my dala-dala stories or anything. :0) This morning Beth and I went to the gym again. Oh yeah, I’m in pain again, already. That’s a good thing though. Then Beth and I ( Read more... )

Everyday is an adventure on the dala-dala. I’m going to try to remember everything! So, I got hit on by my second Tanzanian this morning on the dala-dala. What sent up a red flag was the fact that he paid for my fare on the bus. That NEVER happens! Don’t worry Mom and Dad, I’m okay. Nothing bad happened. He was talking with me a little bit, ( Read more... )

Hello again. How is everyone doing? I’m doing just fine. Things are starting to get busy, but not a whole lot has changed. I’m beginning to have a daily routine, so the updates won’t have AS MUCH new info in them. So, Wednesday is always a busy day, but I did get to sleep in until 7:30. That felt good after two really early mornings. And, I ( Read more... )
