First of all, we'd like to let you all know that we are alive and well in Iringa. We've had quite an eventful past couple of weeks! We are now trying to get our house somewhat functional so that we can carry on every day activities and get busy with the work we came here to do. We do not have internet at our house; therefore, an internet cafe is our means of getting online for the time being. Until then, here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. :)

We began contemplating the idea of doing foreign mission work. In May of 2006, our whole family spent the month of May working in Malawi, Africa. During this trip, we observed the great need for more teache... full info

So blessed!
I know that with every trial, you are thanking God for the blessing to be bringing the gospel to the lost in that area. We're praying for you! Hang in there! John Henson

Homesick?
The pictures made me homesick - NOT!! - for Africa. Hope you get settled into your new home soon. I'm excited for you and for the work in Iringa. On my one trip to Tanzania, I visited Iringa and thought to myself, "If I were going to work in Tanzania, there is where I would want to start." We keep you in our prayers.

Thanks
Dear Jensen's, Thanks for putting our recent house woes in perspective - mouldy carpets are not near as bad as what you all are experiencing! It's a good thing that you Jensen's are so handy and resourceful. Take care! With Love, Patrick and Chantelle Swayne

Recent pix
It seems George has found a new use for ice chests. I hope those he is using are strong ones.

Where's the step ladder? :)
Hi Joy and George, Saw the picture of George Standing on those coolers didn't look too safe!!!! It reminded me of what I've done awhile back using a bucket to stand on to get some things down from a shelf, I tipped right over, thankfully didn't get hurt too bad. Happy you all arrived to your home safely...looks like sooooo much work ahead of you in the house. Take care for now.. Our love to you all... Cookie and Bob

Ladder
Fortunately, we do have a ladder, which is now in our possession. It was on the moving truck, but we needed some lights before the truck arrived, therefore..it was do what he could with what he had. :)
