Coming Home

Well, we have our things in the courtyard ready to go. It seems so long ago that we departed from Concord and now we are departing from Arusha! The mission portion of this trip has been so enlightening. WE have enjoyed the relationships we made at Haven of Peace church in Dar and with the Delaughters in Arusha. Our third week allowed us the opportunity to be more of tourists. We saw some of the national parks, finally saw my giraffe (hundreds to be exact)and better understand the culture of the tribes which call Tanzania home! Bob and I celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary by staying at the Arusha hotel. Wow, what a change from the Njiro Resort across the street from Delaughters! As we sat enjoying a delicious breakfast buffet in such a beautiful hotel we observed all the tourists coming and going. We commented that if "this - the Arusha Hotel" is what they see of Africa...they have missed so much of this amazing country. We thanked God for the opportunity to experience it ALL!

Thanks to our families for all the support and encouragement for this trip. We are excited to return and serve more faithfully in His service. We can't wait to see you all and share our 5000+ pictures!!! (ha ha). See you sometime on Sunday.
