Our time with the people of Mtera
January 14, 2008
Hi Everyone we have arrived in Iringa after a
wonderful time with Mtera Parish. Wednesday we
traveled in two vehicles from Iringa to Mtera school
where we spent two nights. While there we had the
opportunity to meet many friendly people and were
able to work bega kwa bega with them on renovations.
We organized books in the library as well as cleaned
the shelves. A few of us painted blackboards with the
assistance of some of the students. Another task that
we participated in was moving a large pile of cement
blocks. It was hard work but very rewarding to be
able to work side by side with our Tanzanian friends.
Following our work at Mtera school we traveled to 4
preaching points of our partner parish and were
graced with very warm welcomes everywhere. Our time
with the people of Mtera was great, I'd like to keep
writing but our internet is limited and we are about
to go to Ruaha National Park for the next 3 days.
