We're finally online!

Thank you for your patience. With Shari Hamilton's help we can now access the blog and the internet is up which are two huge blessings! We have been in Tanzania for 2 weeks now and we have had both ups and downs but we are getting settled. We have been welcomed by many and look forward to the time with the people of Iringa and the villages around here. In our role as coordinators we have been assisting the five different church groups that are here presently, learning the accounting systems and meeting so many pastors whose names all start with M or N like Ngede, Mbegala. We will be going to Kihesa church tomorrow which is the partner church with St. Mark's in North St, Paul and where we spent our time last trip. Tom will be preaching at the two, two hour services. One of our challenges has been living "in community" with two other pastors in the apartment for the past week (although they have been gracious, we all have our quirks!). We will be moving to our own apartment on Sunday!! We will try to update frequently (when the internet is up) these next weeks as so much has happened in the past two weeks. Kwaheri! Beth & Tom
