It's hard to believe that we've been in Tanzania for a week. We have been warmly welcomed by the mission team. We are extremely grateful to the Richardson family who has so graciously opened their home to us, until such time that we are able to find a house to rent. Here is an overview of our first week in Tanzania: Tuesday, 17th: After arriving at the Kilimanjaro airport, we were driven to Moshi by Brent Richardson, John Hall, and Christopher Mwakabanji. During the trip, the rains came down and soaked our luggage. When we arrived at the Richardson's home, [View Full Entry]

Several months ago our family made the decision to move to Africa in order to do mission work. We spent the month of May in Malawi, and that was a life-changing experience for each one of us. While there, we often viewed things in light of "What if we lived here?" Initially, we planned to return to Malawi to work, but after much prayer and research, we decided that it would be better for us to pursue the idea of working in Tanzania. Well, now it is official! After months of not knowing where we might work, we now know that [View Full Entry]
