Worshipping at Bethania Lutheran Church

The Son is shining upon us.
It was a early morning with worship beginning at 6:30 a.m. The service went about 2 1/2 hours. Then we had tea time while the other service started. Half way through the other service, we joined them and had our introductions.

This is a group picture of us from in front of the church, with evangelists, church workers, and elders.

After the worship service there was time for introductions by all and the giving of gifts. As a team we gave $3000 in compensation for room and board. We all too received gifts. They gave Pastor Mark four stoles, others got shirts and scarves. Plus, we had a wonderful meal followed by, yes, you guessed it -- "goat cake."

Eeeeeek, a snake!

This evening after supper we had a visit by the Hmabasha family. When again we received many gifts. These people of faith are so loving and generous. Thank you Lord for our brothers and sisters in Christ, in Tanzania.

Tomorrow at 5 a.m. we are on Safari for two days. First to Ngorogoro Crater and then to Lake Manayra.
