Greetings again everyone,
If we get up really early we can get connection, so here I am!! The
rain is coming down hard so the ride in the flat bed truck to our
village today should be interesting. Yesterday was a wonderful day of
church, which was full of the most amazing music, color of Africa
clothing, dancing and life. So beautiful. The Commissioner of
Education and Health for this district of Tanzania was there and had
lunch with us. She was here for the dedicqtion of the new prayer
center. Very special ceremony.
The boys from Wyoming got in Friday
PM and will be drilling wells. Fun group of guys, but one of them is
an X-MSU football player, so we have to keep our distance!! After
church was a climb up Mount Sakila. It was beautiful and we even
stopped to watch the monkeys in the trees. Tim and our photographer,
Austin, got some great pictures.
We did not get our bags for the orphanage and we are 15 short, plus the
teachers bags. We will get creative in making some up so we will have
enough. God will provide. Jeanne, thank for the information on the
children's vitamins. We did have some bottles of gummies, and so we
divided them up also. It will be fine until you guys get here - and yes
Jeanne, Mary C is behaving as best possible. Pretty hard for such a
rebel, but she is working on it. The 2 Mary's cause a little confusion
now and then and I sometimes get accused of her mischief. We did ask
about the waiving of the fee for the bags at the airport and they said
no. Oh darn!!
Being Sunday, not much more to share. The 3 AM
singing from the Bible school is so amazing each AM. Nice way to wake
up, but cannot lie, it is back ton sleep for a little more time.
Thank you everyone who is praying for us. This is a fun and beautiful
team and we are having lots of fun. 10 women sharing 2 bathrooms with
showers attached makes for some interesting soggy events, but all is
manageable. The shower bags on the roof are working, but I am thinking
will work much better when we have some sun!
Missing everyone and love you all - especially you Becky, Ashleigh and Brad. Hugs and kisses from Mom and Dad have a wonderful and blessed Monday
Mary Nielsen
