I can't believe how quickly time is going by. I went and picked up my malaria and diarrhea medicine last week. Over $200 for just those two medications. Then I also have at least $50 in over the counter medications that I'm taking along with me.
I'm so excited because I heard back from Peter. Peter was our driver in Tanzania in 2005. He's kept in touch and often sends pictures of his children. He invited Heidi and I to his moms house in Machame. It is an honor to be taken to meet someone's mother. We need to think of a special gift for her and for his boys, too. I can't wait to see Peter and find out what has been happening to his life the past two years.
I got an e-mail today from Isaria. Isaria is a beautiful girl who happened to be my translator in church. She is from the area, but went to college and was home on holiday. She now lives and works in Dar so I don't know if I will get to see her or not. I hope she will be able to make it to the 100 year celebration of our sister church.
I'll attach a picture of Peter and one of Isaria so you can see my friends from the other side of the world.
I found out that I am going to be going on Safari on August 1-3 with some students from the school I will be teaching at. I have no idea where we are going or where we will be staying, but it will be a great experience to go on safari with them. The AIDS orphan that my family sponsors (Happiness) will be going on the school trip too!
I also found out that I get to go to a wedding while I'm there. When I was there in 2005 I got to experience a wedding in Africa. It was amazing. Guess I will be having goat on this trip too! They used the goat as we use wedding cake. (see attached picture).
