Newest Tanzania Pictures 9/25/06

---

Here are a few of the pictures taken of the Northport Mission crew here in Tanzania. It's Monday afternoon here. everyone's doing great! The kids are adjusting great! Almost as if they had never left. They've met up with old friends and are already making new ones as well. Launguage is never a problem for the kids.. a smiles and giggles are universal! We've been busy with Bible studies around Arusha and getting our family settled in. We've picked up the van, got the cell phones activated and are in the process of house hunting all this week we have appointments set up to go see different houses. Tonight we will have the group Bible study with all the missionaries and guests here at Cy & Stephanie's house while Brent & Cy run the Westside group of men to the airport for their departure back home. I believe 11 of the campaigners are leaving out tonight and our Northport group will be changing their lodging to the ACSOP Andrew Connally School of Preaching. Just wanted to give you a little insight as to whats going on from here... The power is still out from 7AM to 7PM with the occassional good tidings of a breif glitch in the system which allows us to access the computer like I am now. We'll write more as we're able to.

From Tanzania to you, all our love, Brent & Julie
