We thought we were coming here to witness to the people of Tanzania, but it is they who have witnessed to us. there faith is so strong it blows us over. they have so little, but are so content and at peace. they truly practise; with God nothing else matters.
what a beautiful country. Roads are a challenge, but the mountains are magnificent.
our lodge is brand new, so new that the water and electricity only work on rare occasions, unless you count the water running out the bottom of the stools.
it is humbling, and gives notice as to what is important in life.
friday we begin our safari experience. can't wait to see the awesomes creatures of this country. we are all staying well, and having life changing experiences every day. peace be with you all, know we are fine, in god's hands, but do miss you.
(the capital letter key is not working, in case you're wondering.)
everyone should experience this trip at least once in their lifetime.
