Grass Roots

We have arrived at the Missionaries’ house in Tarime. It was another long day of travel. The team members are pretty tired getting only about 6 hours of sleep since leaving Dayton on Thursday and it is now 11:00PM Saturday in Tarime. The ride was long (10 hours) and bumpy. We saw some zebras and monkeys along the road in Masai country. We saw Maisi tending their livestock and selling coal by the side of the road. The terrain varied from dry semi desert areas to gentle mountains and green crops which included tea, coffee, sugar cane, wheat and bananas. We had no problems at the border crossing from Kenya to Tanzania because Eric has made friends with a supervisor who made the entry go without any problems. We ended our day by eating a delicious meal outside and enjoying the balmy breezes at a local restaurant. Tomorrow, Bonita preaches in the morning and in the afternoon we will go to another local church’s music CD release party for the debut of their CD the church made. The Angel House Choir will participate as they made a CD last fall (which can be purchased for $10).

Addendum: This was written Saturday night as the power quit. Today, Tuesday is the first time we have had electricity at night.
