We had a blast today!
Robert took Fufi, Kori, Megan, Abby, & Frances climbing up a mountain that had one of the most gorgeous views in the world. It was breath-taking, fun, and gorgeous. A young man who was only 23 and was the village chairman was the guide up the mountain. After the hike, Robert took the group to the University of Tanzania where we had freshly made yogurt and sweet bananas.
Linda took Katie, Mollie, Shelby, and Avery back to her home for a relaxing morning. They baked peanut butter cookies, talked a lot with Linda, and shopped at the LJS shopping mall.
The whole group reunited and went to pick up Kristin to go to her kids camp. Before camp, we went to the Bishop’s office to meet the staff. The staff was very friendly and hospitable in the short time we were.
After, we went to the church where Kristin has her kids camp. There were about 65 kids there from the surrounding neighborhood. We sang “rise and shine”, “hallelu hallelu”, and “father Abraham” with them. After some songs, we performed the story of Noah and the Ark for the children with the pastor as our translator. The kids colored coloring sheets of Noah after our skit. We played group games such as “rafikki(friend), rafikki, simba(lion)”(duck, duck, goose), jump rope, sit down if, and the Swahili version of “ring around the rosy.” The children were precious and we all had so much fun with them.
Before we left, the church gave us all sodas and cookies and we sat down to talk with the pastor. We met a few of the elders of the church and prayed with them. We were all amazed by their hospitality when we were only there for a short time.
We have all grown so much and have been taught a lot on this trip! Thank you for always praying! See y’all soon!
