Quiet Day

One picture today of Chris, the first secondary school student from the DBL Children's Home. We received this picture (He is in his school uniform and its close to bedtime)from the District leader of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania. He keeps a regular check on Chris for Mpeli and Neema since this is his district. Chris is doing well and hopefully will be home (Children's Home) next week for Spring Break. There could be five more ready for secondary school by next January. Your prayers for scholarships for these students is appreciated and sought.

Greg, Becky and Jon left early this morning for Ruaha National Park and will return tomorrow. They had a little tire trouble that kept them in Iringa town for an extra hour or so. They did arrive safely in Ruaha and were waiting their afternoon of safari.

Rebecca and Meg arrived in Greenville apparently after midnight due to plane delays in Amsterdam and Washington. Thank you for your prayers for them.

Mpeli, Neema and I visited and talked the details of vision past, present, and future. This is always an great time of reviewing our history together and talking of things to come.

Mpeli and Floyd(I) met with District Commissioner Elaston Mbwilo this afternoon. He is a great friend of DBL Children's Home and a partner in ministry in Iringa. We learned that he will be transferred to Mtwara region in a big shake up of the District Commissioners. I do not believe this is the last time that we will "partner". I plan to accept his invitation to visit Mtwara the southern most district in Tanzania that borders the Indian Ocean and Mozambique

We made plans for the August Teleios Team for the Iringa Crusade, VBS at the Children's home and Kidetete, and a Maintenance/Construction team. Please join in prayers for those who will serve. We need a team of ten for this trip.

Tonight we had the evening devotion with the children. What a great time of singing and joy!

With only two days left, your prayers for the arrival of the well drillers are appreciated and sought. Thank you for your prayer support and encouragement. Tomorrow I promise pictures.
