Hey everyone!
We had a great last few days with the Mwanza and Geita teams. (Hope was with the Mwanza team.) Evertt Huffard and Janice Bingham stayed with 13 students in Mwanza and Katie and I went to Geita with 13 students. I think both groups really enjoyed their time in Mwanza and Geita, and now we're thankful to be back together and get to share with one another what we experienced. In the task of learning, there is so much value in spending time with people who have made another place and culture their home. Though we were only in Geita or Mwanza for a few days, the Americans here modeled the learning process for us through their years of experience, Swahili learning, cultural knowledge, etc. After 2 and a half months at Namwianga learning about culture and mission, this time in Tanzania and our upcoming time in Jinja offer the same learning experience, but in an accelerated manner.
For the next three days and nights we'll be heading through the Serengeti, to the Ngorongoro Crater, and on to Kilimanjaro before heading to Jinja, Uganda. I am not confident we'll have cell reception every minute of the drive, but I think we'll have cell reception (and/or data) at the places we stay in the evenings. I'll try to send updates as frequently as I can. You can get shorter but more frequent updates on twitter (twitter.com/HIZambia)
Grace and peace,
