Here we go again. We’re packing our bags with loads of equipment, a guitar and clothing. 5 bags in all to take with us to Tanzania for our three week trip to Kasulu. We’re pretty excited and a little bit exhausted from the hunting and gathering we’ve been doing for the past 4 weeks to get all of the items we need together for this year’s mission.
Tomorrow morning at 6AM, we’ll be on our way to JFK airport to catch our flight to Dubai. I’m looking forward to the time on the flight, strangely enough. Once we are there, we can really sit back and relax for a while. 12 hours of that on the first leg of the trip and then after a brief layover, we’ll catch the next flight to Dar Es Salaam. That one is about 5 1/2 hours long. Once we get to Dar, there will be a 30 minute or so drive into the city to our hotel. It’s a long trip, but very much worth it. I’m looking forward to getting there. And I’m especially looking forward to the first morning. It’s always great to get up and out into the city. We have some business to attend to there, such as getting cell phone SIMM cards and purchasing more computer equipment for KBC.
The Lord truly has blessed our time of preparation. We’ve been very forward focused for some time now. What I enjoy the most when we are in Kasulu is focusing more on each day as it comes along and looking to be in the moment rather than always looking ahead. That will be a pleasure.
Keep us in prayer and stop in each day. We will try to post each day as time allows.
Blessings to your all.

Just a very short post to let you know that we are home again. We arrived home at 11 AM. We found things in good shape (thanks Chris!) and our cats were quite pleased as well. In the next day I’ll put out some final thoughts and pictures from our trip. But for now, with our get lagged bodies craving sleep, we’re going to get a good nights rest and get back to a final trip post tomorrow.
Thanks all for your thoughts, prayers and encouragements during our travels and work in Tanzania. We could not have done it without you and the blessings and presence of God in all that we did and accomplished.
