Tanzania, Here I Come!

July 30, 2009

It official! I'm going to Tanzania from September through December! I'm awaiting specific paperwork and some email addresses from other volunteers on site, and I'm really excited! I found out all volunteers stay in a house near the orphanage and that a cook, housekeeper, and guard are provided. There is dial up Internet access in the house, so I should be able to keep in touch with everyone back home through my blog.

August will be extremely busy, but very exciting. Rebecca and I are meeting again next week to finalize plans for her to move in with me. I would really like to be back home before her baby is born around January 19, but I will see what happens.

Of course, we'll need to celebrate Christmas and some birthdays before I leave. Tickets will be at lease $2000, so money is a concern. I have a really good feeling about Angel House Orphanage. I'm excited to be in service in Africa. I pray this time will allow me to simplify my life and learn to treasure each moment of my life. Please continue to pray for this mission, especially for the forty or so children who live at Angel House Orphanage.
