Long But Good Days...

Those Bananas Are Mighty Tasty...

Today, we left at 7 a.m. for Mbeya. This has been a long day of travel and meetings.

First, we visited a site for a potential new educational partnership. We then went to see Frank and Mpeli's mother, followed by a trip to Tukuyu, their home village – Garry must have eaten two dozen bananas!!! I am serious. We purchased a whole stalk of bananas near Tukuyu. Man, did Garry and Frank eat bananas as fast as I could get them off the stalk!

We finally arrived back in Mbeya to meet with our new brother in Christ, George. George and his family are involved in mining gold and copper. We enjoyed a delicious evening meal at his house.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that each banana was about 2 inches long, at best.

Our long day has ended and another one begins tomorrow as we leave at 5 a.m. for Iringa. We will stop to say good-bye to our partners in Christ and begin our journey to Dar Es Salaam. We plan to stop by the Mikumi National Game Park on the way.

Thank you for your continued prayers. Hopefully, on Thursday we can post pictures and catch up on the blog.
