Tanzania Mission Update 2007

"Well, we had a great visit to the orphanage yesterday in the afternoon. Grant walked us over there and we spent about an hour playing with the kids. They wanted to braid Mark's hair, probably because Grant and I wouldn't let them do ours. We had a good visit with Grant at his place Monday evening.

Tuesday we visited four water wells and several villages.

I got to see the pole church that we worked on in 2005 and it was the one that had the tin stolen off of the roof.

They now have the tin back on some wind break walls and have started an evangelist's house there. All four of the wells we visited were working and appear to have good water. Mark is wanting to set up to get samples so they can be tested.

Jacob came by for supper (pizza) and Mark visited with him regarding the vision for the programs here. Jacob was very agreeable and is very supportive of the this program. We will visit the diocese offices tomorrow for a little followup and then on to some more villages.
Luca has invited me to go with him on Friday to Morogoro to shop for building materials and then to lay out a church.

The visit so far has gone very well and we know it the results of all you guys praying for the success of this visit.

Hope that everyone's thanksgiving goes great and that you have some turkey for Mark and myself."
