First Full Day

Praise Report--we got our luggage finally from the airlines. We are still missing 1 large bag and 1 large carry-on so continue to pray that these are returned quickly. The team members who received their long lost luggage were thrilled to have clean clothes to put on! It was great to take a shower, and put on some CLEAN CLOTHES!! Hallelujah!

Today we prepped for our video trainings that we are going to do out in the bush tomorrow and the next day. Watched the videos in Swahili and had Polycarp explain to us what was going on in the videos so we could ask appropriate questions in the small groups. We then reviewed the set up of the video packs which we will run from a generator in the bush tomorrow. I am amazed that we can use technology to further the gospel--bringing truth to the Maasai out in a remote location. God has provided us with a wonderful tool to proclaim his Word.

We enjoyed a Tanzanian lunch today prepared by Scola and her sister Hilda. It consisted of ugali, rice, and a mash of meat and cabbage. Followed by a dessert of snickerdoodles. Scola is a wonderful cook and we are blessed to have her prepare our meals.

Dinner was at McMoody's--a take off from McDonald's. We enjoyed pizza, hamburgers, fries, and shakes. Yummy!

Pray that we minister effectively to the Tanzanians tomorrow--that we would be led by the Spirit and that the power of the Word would go forth to accomplish that for which it was sent. Pray that hearts and lives would be changed as they hear the Word of God. Pray also for safe travel and that everything would go smoothly as we set up the video packs and tents.

Mungu nakupenda sana! God loves you!

Ah McMoody's - I was wondering if that was still there! Very good food and the best shakes! Wish I was there with you all!
