This past week has been a busy week. Brent and I started it off with a day of evangelism in Marangu Mwika. Us along with about 10 members from the Moshi congregation drove up the mountain to evangelize to the people of Marangu. It is about a 45min drive for us to get to the village. When we arrived we divided up into our teams to go out and set up some Bible studies. My team was 3 of the African ladies from the church, Abigail, Elizabeth, Teresa and me. So of course the whole time we were walking from [View Full Entry]

Today Julie and I got up and decided to go into town, just the two of us. We needed to get some groceries and run some errands. So we went by the grocery store and then we drove around Moshi for about 20min just to take some pictures around town. After we were finished with all the things on our list we started to headed back home. But then we remembered an African lady we met at a Birthday party a few weeks ago and how she has an orphanage here in Moshi. So Julie and I, loving kids as [View Full Entry]

Today started off with Anthony and Shasta Brown and Sean Hochdorf coming over to the house. They brought some wood from Arusha for Brent to cut with his new tools, so they could build some shelves for the house. The Samford’s, one of the missionary families here got their container from the states and the Richardson’s had some supplies on the container as well. Most of it consisted of peanut butter and Brent’s tools…some other stuff too but those were the most exciting things. So while the guys stayed at the house cutting, hammering and building with Brent’s new tools, [View Full Entry]

I love going to the Nursery School every Tuesday to see the children. Walking into the school as they all begin to yell, “Good morning teacher,” it just melts your heart away. To watch them want to learn and grow so much everyday. Then to see them accomplish that goal and the joy on their faces when they have learned something new. I like seeing Gracie play with all her little Africa friends and even though some of them can speak no English, they get along and play just like everyone else. Watch the kids play and sing outside, trying to [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been taking so long to get another blog out but we have been busy lately. Also the internet has not been working the past week. The Muslims decided to put a cell phone tower on top of the mosque down town and it knocked out our internet server. That got resolved so internet is back on, for now. This travel blog is of the Ladies class we had this afternoon (Saturday). Julia Mwakabanje, one of the Christian ladies here at the Moshi congregation, led the group in a discussion on better ways to teach children’s Bible [View Full Entry]

Life in Tanzania!! I can not even begin to tell about it all. Its the love, the joy, the amazement and the sadness all in one. The love of the country and of the people. The love of holding a baby and the feeling you get when she looks at you with her beautiful eyes. The love of sharing the word of God with someone one and the willingness they have to listen. The joy of a new church getting started and watching it grow and mature. The joy of teaching Bible stories to children and to see the excitement they [View Full Entry]

There are no words to describe my feelings toward this past week. The love that I feel when I am with the children, teaching them, helping them learn and watching them grow. It is truly priceless! They have completely stolen my heart and I love them so much! Last Saturday a group of 6 from Marble Falls, Texas came over on their Spring Break to work with the children at Hannah's Nursery School and Mamma Lima's Orphanage in Boma Ngombe. Greg Neill and his wife Kris, along with three college students, Chad, Nathan, and Rachel, and one high school student, Clayton. [View Full Entry]

It has been an great week in the work of the Lord. Starting with the Women's Seminar on Saturday lead by Joy Jensen, one the the missionary wives here in Moshi. The seminar was on "How to Lead." Joy did a great job and I assure you, everyone learned much from the lessons. At the end of the seminar I lead the closing prayer after Lindsey Jensen (age 15) lead the closing song. Then on Sunday morning we woke up and attended church at the congregation in Machame which is about 20 minutes from Moshi. The congregation was held in one [View Full Entry]
