Happy Fourth of July!

I checked our email this morning and was reminded it is the 4th today, a fact I had forgotten since there are no big Fourth of July sales or fireworks! So we will celebrate quietly but miss the great fireworks at the cabin in Amery. We are finishing up our work with the five groups that have been here since we arrived. They are completing their trips and have had amazing experiences, especially in the villages with their parishes. We get to hear their stories and they are a blessing. Tom and I decided to go to the market yesterday to get some provisions and drove because we knew we would get too much for us to carry. We haven't mastered carrying the baskets on our heads! We ended up on a one way street the wrong way and totally frustrated so we came home and asked Sarah, a Tanzanian woman who works at the office to help. I told Sarah if she came to the U.S I would take her to the grocery store to show her how it works. She said,"I will take you to the market." She led us through the market bargaining with the vendors. Now we have food to prepare and especially wonderful fruit and vegetables!
