Just A Little Update

We went to Arusha today. We took a taxi-bus into town. The drive would normally take under an hour but the drive over took two and a half hours. It took so long we only had time to go to Shop-rite and eat lunch before we had to take a bus back to make it back in time for Swahili lessons. But this all day event was worth the effort...We bought peanut butter! Oh yeah! I am so excited to have peanut butter and jelly tomorrow morning...Oh the simple pleasures.

I want to thank everyone who has been praying for my protection against mosquitos. I have only gotten bit twice. That is very unusual because everybody that has been here visiting has gotten at least five a day. I have gotten used to spraying my body every time I step out the door...I keep the spray bottle right by the door. The smell is now just a part of my life. :)

I've started Swahili lessons. Please pray for me. The other girls seem to be picking it up much easier than me. Even though I am a teacher I haven't been a student for almost 20 years. I really need the Lord's encouragement and strength.
I have found that the Lord is good at encouragement and strength! :)
