Language School in Morogoro Tanzania

     Well we made it to language school and the Lord has truly blessed us.  God is good.  We started class Monday and its been great.  The school is really nice and our living conditions are good.  The people are great and we eat like kings.  We really enjoy it here.  We have been getting our phones set up so we can call home and I think we almost have it.  Conclusion is, its going to be expensive, but we have to have them to call the Taylors and also to call our family.  I have made a few trips into town which is a process in itself.  I'll have to explain the dolla dolla (van) some other time.  Needless to say we are about to purchase a motorcycle while we are here.  We have got to have some means of transportation that doesn't take an hour to get 5 miles.  On a more exciting note, we had and earthquake last night.  We can honestly say we haven't felt one of those in a while.  It only lasted for about three or four seconds, but it was pretty powerful.  Also, Lindsey has been a little under the weather last night and today so please pray for her to get better as I believe she is already doing.
 Thanks for reading and please keep us in your prayers. 

    

     

     The team has been gone for almost a week now and we have just gotten settled back in.  We have been cleaning the house back up and doing tons of laundry which is more difficult than one could imagine considering the water has been off for most of this week and is currently off.  If it's not the water we are working around it's the electricity.  Water and electricity is a constant issue, but we are getting used to it pretty quickly.  After all, if the water is off that means we get a break from doing laundry and dishes and if the electricity is off I can't do much office work so I guess its a win/lose situation.
     Lindsey is doing great working around our house and trying to help Kenya some as well.  She seems to enjoy life on the coast.  God has blessed us both.  First, by allowing us to do His work together and by letting us live in such a beautiful place.  We do practically live on the beach and there is a golf course across the road.  I have yet to play golf here, but I definitely plan on it sometime.  Also, we get to work with the Taylors, which we do love.
     Tomorrow we wake up at 3:30 to start our 15 hour bus ride to Morogoro, Tanzania for language school.  We will be there for about four months.  However, the Lord has blessed us with an opportunity to go to the International Missionary Retreat this year in Israel.  We will be taking two weeks off from language school at the end of August and beginning of September to attend the retreat.  We are very excited about this opportunity to visit with veteran missionaries and hear their stories about life on the field.  Lindsey and I both believe that language school as well as the retreat will be a great time for us to grow together.  Please pray for us as we continue our safari here on the coast.
