7 Villages in 7 Days

---

I really don't even know where to begin this week. So much has happened that it's actually hard to believe that it all fit into just a week's time frame.

We've actually worked in 7 different villages this week at one point or another.

Moshi - (LIFE in GENERAL, since we live here) Evangelism, Bible Classes & Evening Worship
Masame - Evangelism & visiting
Boma Ngombe - Teaching at the Nursery School & Evangelism
Kibosho - Evangelism
Marangu - Evangelism & Scouting out new location for the church to meet
Machame - Evangelism during the week and Worship Sunday morning
Arusha - Teaching at ACSOP (The 1st of the Garden Classes) & visiting the Missionaries

We are getting to bed early so that we can start off a new week bright and early at 5:30AM as Brent heads back to Arusha to teach the 2nd year students their 1st Class of the Garden Project. he is teaching the two classes on different days to suit their school schedule. The kids and I will start their school early, get that finished and head to town to buy cleaning supplies and go over to the house to begin the cleaning process, so that I can start painting the rooms before we move in.

So, keep us in your prayers as things are starting to pick up the pace around here... But I can't even begin to tell you what this "good African tired" feels like, with the dirt covered feet, sweaty brow, exhaustion and excitment all mixed together and know that you've given each and every moment of the day your all and all. Not everything you hoped and set out to accomplish got done, but you did everything you could do, to accomplish at least one thing! It's what I love the most about Africa!

God Bless You in all that you are doing to His glory!

Families sitting together
I've been noticing at Moshi that most families are starting to all sit together, husband & wife along with their own children.

He asked us to try to see if we could make a home-made punching bag... It will have to do.

"Favorite Bloom"
I'm not even sure how I knew this, but isn't your "new favorite bloom" a Bird of Paradise? It's beautiful!
