Illula Medical Center

Hello St. Paul Lutheran! We've done some exciting things in Tanzania lately. Yesterday we went to Illula Medical Center. We got a chance to meet Dr. Saga, who has been a physician at Illula for 40 years. Dr. Saga also met my uncle when he was in America in 1990 and connected with my dad last year. He greeted Michael and I with hugs once we had established our connections and made sure to introduce us to his wife. A baby was born while we were there so we got to see the new mtoto (child). I am speaking much Swahili here and am very grateful I learned some of the language before coming here. We also went to Image Secondary School. The students greeted us with song and dance! Internet time is limited so this is all I can write. Kwaheri!
