I have arrived

I am here in Tanzania. I have arrived at my new home. I do not think that concept has sunk in yet. I have traveled over with a team from Perimeter. They were wonderful. I enjoyed getting to know them and hearing their stories. Don't you just love seeing God work in the lives of others. What a privelege. I spent the first two days in Karansi, which is the village that I have been two in the past. Seeing old friends was so good and a great way to begin my time here. I picked up right where I left off. On Sunday, I traveled to what will be new home for the next six months. I will begin my time here at the teacher's training college, which is called Joshua. The facility is absolutely beautiful. I will post pictures. The accomodations are so much better than I was expecting. The grounds are stunning. It feels like an oasis. I have a great view of Mt. Meru. The people that are part of the staff here have been so welcoming and kind. However, I realize that community and relationships take time. Building intimacy and connection takes work to develop. I find myself being a little resistant and missing what I had at home. Please pray for me in that respect. There are 29 students here at the college that will eventually teach in the villages that I will be working at as well as some other villages. I have met so many people in the past 24 hours and I do not think that I remember a single name. =)
