The Hills are Alive....

One of my favorite all time movies is the Sound of Music. My parents are fully aware of this because I used to play the soundtrack over and over again and dance around my room. A little embarassing to admit now, but true. =) For those of you who haven't seen it, the opening seen is Maria played by Julie Andrews singing and twirling around in the mountains of Austria. She is singing the hills are alive with the sound of music. Throughout the beautiful melody, you see how much she loves her country and her life and relishes the wonder in the place that she calls home.

Tanzania is a amazing country. I live near Mt. Meru and often have an unbelievable view of Mt. Kilimanjaro especially when I travel to a few of our villages. Often, in my short stint here so far, I felt like Maria. I have been in awe of the beauty that surrounds me and want to sing in praise to my God for bringing me here. The people, the countryside, and so much more are wonderful.

Then.... there are other days..... Recently, I have been having a few more of the other days mostly brought on because of my desperate pursuit for working internet. Because of the amount of traveling that I do plus several other issues, having internet at my home seemed like it would be incredibly beneficial. However, as my roommate so eloquently put it, we live in the Bermuda triangle of internet world. I will spare you the details of my sordid saga but sordid it is! There is one last ray of hope, please pray!

Hello!

Hello all of my faithful readers! I am so sorry for my lack of input lately! Please pray for internet. There is a whole sordid saga of a story there. My roommate thinks we live in the Bermuda triangle of internet and the office is not always reliable, plus I travel. Yowsers! God is good. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. I should be writing a real blog soon because there has definitely not been a shortage of interesting adventures.
