June 4th & 5th

Day 4: June 4- Safari and Massai community

Today we went to Mikumi Park and saw a gorgeous part of Tanzania. Everywhere we looked was pretty scenery and tons of wild animals. Such as, elephants, giraffes, wildabeasts, impalas, hippos, zebras, baboons, a hyena, jackels, beautiful birds, annoying tsitsi flies, wart hogs, and 2 mama lions that were only 15 feet away from our bus!!! It was an amazing experience to say the least.

Another funny part of our day was that all the African tourists wanted to take pictures with us like we were taking of the animals. We were a part of their safari and quite a hit! =]

After the safari we went to a Massai family’s home. They were very hospitable and it was so cool to see the way they live and take care of each other. We were able to buy some spears, bows, and necklaces from them and asked them questions about their tribe and traditions. They were fun to be around!

Thanks for praying!

Day 5: June 5- Sunday Church

Hello everyone!!

Today we went to Linda and Robati’s church. We arrived at church at 9:45 and we left at 3:30! The actual service was only three hours.

They were extremely hospitable and served us hot tea and sweet bread as a snack before the service began.

The service consisted of their multiple choirs singing lovely songs to the Lord, communion, auction, and a sermon. We acted as a choir and sang a few worship songs as well as 3 other Tanzanian choirsJ

They served us lunch after and we participated in their auction and bought 4 of their chickens and avocados. We later gave the chickens back to 3 families within the church who only had one parent living and had kids who either had malaria or worms.

After the service was over we mingled with the Tanzanians and communicated as much as we could with them, mostly by laughter and pictures! Katie talked with one of the pastors who was in a car accident and just got his cast off of his leg last week. She taught him how to walk correctly with crutches and some rehab exercises.

The day was relaxing and we are enjoying spreading Christ’s love with everyone here. We are learning so much from them as well! The children are precious!

We miss and love all of you!

Peace and Love,

Abigail King
