This is Brad again. I finally talked to Kristi on the phone today after texting didn't work out so well as my texts didn't make it to her. Kristi didn't have a lot of minutes on the phone she is using, so we didn't talk very long. But, here's what I found out.
Apparently, the owner of the car that was driving Kristi, Scott, and someone from the church, didn't register his car properly (or have insurance or something along those line). So the police wanted to take everyone to jail. Someone in the group was able to talk the police out of it and they ended up letting them go. So luckily I didn't have to bail my wife out of a Tanzanian jail again (no just kidding, I've never had to do that). The thought is kinda scary though, so I'm glad she didn't end up there.
Kristi said she is finally feeling better today after not being able to eat anything for a few days. Hopefully everyone else in the group stays healthy for the remainder of the trip.
Today Kristi went out shopping for school books and school supplies. The big purchase was a copier (I believe it was anyway, it might have been some kind of printer combo thing. Kristi can clarify later.). One things for sure, all the wonderful donations from everyone are sure going a long way to help the kids in Tanzania.
It's rained every night so it sounds like the roads and paths are a little on the muddy side.
Please keep Kristi, Matt, Scott, Heidi, and Sara in your prayers.

Never a dull moment!!
Golly! I wouldn't have been surprised if someone threw Kristi in jail here in the US, but I figured she'd be on her best behavior while visiting someone else's continent! :)
Glad that got smoothed out and glad that she's feeling better. Thanks for the update Brad.
