This blog is all about my journey living and working in Moshi, Tanzania. This process began before I moved to Moshi in July 2006 and continues as I have been living here six and a half years. I like to write blogs about the kids here at Treasures of Africa Children's Home and about life in Tanzania and the fun things about living in a different culture. The children have become a huge part of my life here. I have fallen in love with them and each day they bring something new and fun to life. God has truly blessed me.

All Moved In

Our container arrived and we have officially moved into our new home. Thank you to everyone who prayed...God answered our prayers. According to the government officials themselves the container was released in record time. We were told that the U.S. government donated a container full of goods that is still sitting at the port in Tanzania after more than nine months.

My new bed is very comfortable. I packed a mattress pad to put on my new mattress and it is simply wonderful. I have been busy unpacking and getting my new room decorated. It is beginning to feel quite cozy...even the red/rust painted floor is beginning to grow on me. :)

We hired painters to paint the bedrooms and the outside. They are enjoying painting with American paint. It only takes one coat and looks very nice. They are fast workers so they should get the rooms done within a week and a half. I am looking forward to the classroom and my office getting painted. I am ready to move my school supplies in and begin working on the school.

Thank you for praying. I am blessed to be a part of all that the Lord is doing.
