Tanzania Africa: We're here!!!

This is a HUGE and beautiful place!  We arrived without a hitch.  Thanks so much for all the prayers while we were traveling,  we truly felt the power of prayer and saw the hand God working in every aspect of our travel.  First of all, we left Charleston just minutes before the winter storm arrived.  Then we made every connection and walked smoothly through all the security checkpoints without question.  The flights were long but comfortable and while we did not sleep much, we were able to talk a lot about the coming week. 

It's hot here.  Really hot!  We got off the plane in Arusha and walked across the tarmac feeling every degree of the 95 temp.  We are staying with the Johnsons in there very beautiful house (provided by the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering) which has all the comforts of home except air conditioning.  Didn't matter though because we slept so hard last night we didn't notice the heat.  A cold shower this morning was just the ticket to get our day started.  It is Wednesday here and we are going to be touring Moshi and Arusha to familiarize ourselves with the important sights that we will be using as we bring teams to the area.  Tomorrow we will spend a day doing the tourist thing and then we are off into the Pori (bush country) to meet the Maasai leaders and people.

Please continue to pray for divine appointments as we move through the day today.  No pics yet but should have some tonight.
