Tanzania Water Well Update, Day 5, February 17, 2009

Today we went to a village called New Land for a church service. Before the service started, we went to check on the water well that Asbury drilled in 2004. The well is still producing good water and looks to be in very good condition.

We also checked on the bee hives. Asbury's missionary, Robert Spitaleri, helped introduce a newer style hive that allows for more honey production. New Land is currently the only village where bee keeping is being done. It was wonderful to see that there were hives there labeled for other nearby congregations.

Following the church service, we were treated to a wonderful lunch. We ate so much that we didn't eat any dinner.

In the afternoon, I had a meeting with Pastor Hafermann to go over our 2009 budget and discuss finances and future projects.

Everyone here is healthy. Blessings to all.
