Our training is over. We have met some wonderful people over the last 3 weeks. They will be going to language school tomorrow. Please pray for them as they learn Swahili. It also means there are more good byes that will happen today. We know this time we will get to see most of these people again in 6 months at the annual conference. The kids have gotten to know 2 other kids and have had a great time playing with them.

This weekend will be spent packing, sorting and preparing for our trip to Musoma. The kids get to spend Saturday with some other new friends so Keith and I can get some things done.

It is hard to believe that our next move is to Musoma. We leave on Tuesday and will arrive in Musoma Thursday late afternoon if all goes as planned. We are excited to be finally arriving at our end destination. We will move into someone else’s home until we find a home to rent.

The kids will start school on Monday the 13th. They have enjoyed having the last 3 weeks off and still have one more week off.

Please pray for our preparations to Musoma, the kids as they say good bye to friends, safety as we drive to Musoma and no car problems.

Getting the good stuff out of the coconut
They use a really cool tool that you sit on and has a sharp oval blade on it to get out the meat. |
Coconuts and Cashews.... wow, that's cool. Now I'm hungry! :) Glad you guys have gotten through training and are heading to Musoma at last!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update and the photos! I love to see all the cool experiences the kids are having. What memories the they will have! I don't know if you read my sister's blog at all, but you might enjoy her missionary wife perspective. She wrote a really good post about being an MK/missionary. All these years later, and it sill made me cry b/c I understand exactly what she means...and you and your kids will too!! Praying for you all!
