Habari Rafiki! (Hello Friends), The last four weeks have been full of excitement as we have enjoyed preparing for, and executing, a successful campaign here in Tanzania! The "Safari for Souls" campaign is a three week campaign in three different towns. This year it began in Moshi. There was door knocking & bible studies in the morning and preaching, children's bible school and bible studies in the evening. The second week there were Men and Women's Seminars held here in Arusha. The theme this year was "Moving Forward, Back to the Bible". It proved to be a WONDERFUL theme as we [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, I have been sitting on this entry for a few days now hoping I would get the whole picture "shida" (problem) figured out, but every time I try to add a photo my computer shuts down completely. Go figure. Soooo, I decided, if this entry is going to be relevant, I'd better post it today, since it IS Saturday. Just wanted to share in my excitement and anticipation. I am excited about Sunday. I've been teaching the ladies in Monduli concerning the roll of the woman; at home, in the community, and in the church. I gave each lady [View Full Entry]

Dearest Brethren, I thought it might be time to update my blog! Until now, internet for us has been very hit or miss. However, I believe we have the bugs worked out and it will be a little more reliable. Most of you have been keeping up with us via our report or Race. As you know, we are still waiting to hear something about the work permit. Your prayers are very much appreciated and we know they will avail much according to God's will. We have been busy, busy, busy! We moved in to a smaller house, letting the Gee [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone! Happy Valentines Day everyone! Habari Za Leo? (How are you today?) I hope this entry finds everyone happy, healthy and laboring diligently for the Lord. We are all doing very well.

He is teaching in the school there and traveling to different congregations in different areas doing some preaching.

Habari Asubuhi (How are you this morning?)?! I tossed and turned this morning until I decided to go ahead and get up. I was hoping it would be at least 4:00 or 5:00 am, but, as it turns out, it is only 12:30 am. How crazy is that! It's not as bad as it sounds however. I had one of my weekly headaches so I went to bed very early. Still, what to do, what to do...? I decided I could use this time to catch everyone up on our experiences in getting settled in. Africa certainly wastes no time "breaking [View Full Entry]

Mzuri Asubuhi! Good Morning! Yes, we are here and all very well. What a trip! It went seamlessly and what a blessing. We arrived late night before last and hit the ground running yesterday morning. We are currently staying with Cy and Stephanie Stafford and having a wonderful time. They have been so gracious to let us intrude. As you may know, Cy and Stephanie just moved into their new house 9 days ago. They are trying to get ready to leave for furlough, and now, on top of all of that, they have house guests! Needless to say, we are [View Full Entry]

Hey, I just thought it would be fun to have a map on our blog site to keep up with "where in the world" we've been! Most of these places we visited to do mission work, but some of them Sean visited when he was in the service. We always enjoy visiting new places and meeting new people. It's fun to learn about other cultures and ways of life! Visited Countries Map [View Full Entry]

Time is beginning to fly by as our January 15th departure date draws closer and my sleep habits are beginning to reflect it! Last night I sat up in bed and thought, "ziploc bags! I wonder if I can get ziploc bags in Tanzania!" So, I've begun my "short list" for the final box of a few last minute items I think might be hard to find once we get there. I've decided, come what may, I'll be alright if I can take some hand gel, hand wipes, and of course, ziploc bags, (Tomorrow I will probably think of some other [View Full Entry]
