25643456 3d91 44d4 bb56 fb9040da277e.Yesterday, as I mentioned in my last post, I worshipped at Murusi Church, two miles from Kasulu town center.  Principal Alberto was my interpreter again.  I preached on Mark 5:5 and some accompanying scriptures and focused on giving our all for Jesus.   I lead two songs during the service.  One was early in the service, and the other was just after my sermon, which wrapped nicely with the chorus “Yote kwa Yesu” (All for Jesus).   Afterward, I rested at the hostel and drove to Daudi & Olivia Ndahana’s home.   It was only a few miles from the DWT compound.   I got there in time to use my iPad to tune into St. Paul’s livestream to see Fr. Nate Lee’s first Sunday as our priest.   It was great to get the shout-out greeting from the congregation at announcement time.   I even called Cathy after the service was able to greet Fr. Nate from Tanzania.

 

This morning was just a matter of breakfast and packing up.   We drove to Kigoma, which only takes about an hour and 15 minutes these days.   I remember years back that it was a 3-hour ride that was brutal because of the dirt road conditions, especially during the rainy season.  We had lunch, and then I was dropped off at the Kigoma Airport, where I am now.   I’m all checked in and ready to start the trip home.  But first, I have an overnight in Dar Es Salaam, TZ, then a flight and overnight in Nairobi, Kenya.   Then, it will be on to Dubai and eventually JFK New York.   I’ll arrive home on Thursday morning, so keep checking for posts.  I will try to reflect on the trip over the next couple of days.
