Thankful.

I have arrived in Tanzania!

Last summer my trek to Tanzania involved delayed flights, a lost passport, and a missing piece of luggage. This summer my journey here was much less eventful. Rather than tell the story of my trip here, I’ll just list the things I’m thankful for:

-          I’m thankful for friends who helped me pack for my trip two days before I left, because I was sick, overwhelmed, and exhausted

-          I’m thankful for friends who  surprised me at the Wichita Airport before I left

-          I’m thankful that although the girl next to me on the plane got air sick, I did not

-          I’m thankful that there was an extra seat next to me on my next flight, so I was able to sleep the whole time

-          I’m thankful that I didn’t leave my passport on the plane this time

-          I’m thankful that although one of my pieces of luggage did not arrive, the one that did was the one with all of my clothing and hygiene items in it (for the second year in a row! Thank goodness!)

-          I’m thankful for other volunteers that took care of me when I was sick, both with a sinus infection and motion sickness from the bus ride to Tanzania.

-          I’m thankful for the community of Tarime and Angel House that welcomed me back so lovingly

-          Lastly, I’m thankful for my community at home that is willing to support me on this journey

We went to Mwanza on Sunday to see some of the college students
