Donations from friends and family... priceless

Dear Friends and Family,
Thank you all for the support you've provided me. I feel I am the luckiest person alive. I can't believe all of the things you've done to help me get ready for this trip and the things you're sending with me to give to the people I meet in Tanzania. I already feel God working and I haven't even left the states yet. What a blessing you have been to both me and my friends in Tanzania! Asante and God Bless you all.

I will try to post a few times while I'm over there so please check back or check "follow" and you will automatically be notified if I post.

When I leave tomorrow morning it will take me 26 hours until I arrive in Kilimanjaro. We will arrive the following evening. From previous experience I know we will be greeted at the airport and then driven up to Uswaa, where we will be staying. Our rooms are guest rooms the church built above the sanctuary(the church is in the picture). I've heard the church bells go off (2 sets of them) at 5:00 every morning and they are RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROOMS! That will be 9:00 p.m. your time if you live in Lincoln. So at 9:00 p.m., before you go to bed, send a little prayer my way and I will send one your way when I wake up!

Kwa Heri (good-bye)

It's almost 10:30 p.m. on Thursday--I missed the 9:00 p.m. prayer time, but you are either in the Amsterdam airport or on the second leg of your flight. Sending prayers your way for safe travels and a little bit of rest on the way. La la salama
