Please to post....

For the Blog........"After 26 hours of flight time, multiple taxis, one host home stay, one missionary home stay, 2 hilarious days packed like sardines in a bus where the BO could make even someone with no sense of smell gag, meal of baboon butt, one elephant and giraffe spotting, and one rooftop Land Rover ride with the luggage, I have arrived."

To us...."Hey, arrived safely to the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, and I thought Montana was out there!!!! This place is beautiful, peaceful. Going to be good. Rode on top of an awesome Land Rover on top of the luggage to get here after the bus, we almost lost Scott off the back. Other missionaries are great. Only have signal at certain places so texting will be interesting. Great houses, very nice and homey, comforters on beds, no electricity, generator at night."

"Baby steps, trying not to let my mind wander far into the future as the villages are so primitive. Gonna do some reading and journaling to get my mind off stuff. We are staying with one family now but will be moving into another home when that family leaves for a bit. I think everyone is dealing in their own way, you know? No Skype, computer once Brook gets her plan back up in a few days, only electricity at night for charging etc. Standing at the Reception Tree....think I'll call.".......which she just did....fascinating that she can be standing by a tree, the only area with reception, and from the western edge of TZ, call home. Amen to technology!!!!!
