Everything has changed

When I was a child I lived on an old campus that was, at one time in history, composed of a nursing home, a church, a farm, and many families. Although the farm, nursing home, and families had long gone, my parents moved there to reestablish this once thriving community and to restore the church. So every sabbath morning I would take the LONG walk across my front yard and step into the church for sabbath service. It was the shortest walk anyone ever had to take to worship, but I loved to tell people I "walked" to church for the uniqueness of it. Well, today, I can say that I honestly walked to church. And it was the most amazing experience. The music was acapella and so beautiful. The service was in Swahili, but Sabbath School was in English. They actually had the English SS class canceled today, but after seeing Renate and myself there, they quickly put it together and we enjoyed a rich discussion about Paul and Romans with 25 people in attendance. It was truly beautiful. I feel my life changing with every single second and this was just one small part.

I forgot to tell you guys... I saw Mt. Kilimanjaro yesterday. You cannot always see it but we were at the market and it just broke through the clouds. It was so much prettier than any picture can capture. You all MUST visit. Tanzania is, so far, a magical, magical place. God is sooooo good!

I have attached some more pictures of our walk. I have also attached pictures of the gate to our compound and the signs outside that tell people who we are.
