A New Year

                                        

  
                                         

                           Happy New Year! ( a little late, but maybe it still counts)

         
                                                      Can it really be 2014?
                                            Seems like I just got back to Africa.
                 Feels like it was just a few weeks ago I was eating good ole Taco Bell.
                                                             

                                          But the calendar says it is, so I guess it is. :)
                                                       2013 sure went by fast.


            The Stafford's ( the director of this work and his wife) hosted a late night party. I must admit that I  filled up on a bunch of junk but it sure did taste good. We returned home and I stayed up till midnight talking to a friend. Not a bad way to end the old year and begin a new if you ask me.

                                    I hope everyone else enjoyed the holidays!

     The rabbits are well. I've got them on a nice little schedule. They are feed twice a day; on a diet of mainly pellets and greens and their cages are cleaned out once a week. Here is a picture of the finished roof :

After looking at my presentation a little closer, I've realized that there is a lot that could be changed for the better ( not only the old information). This week, I ( and a gentleman by the name of Adam Rymon) will be working on improving it sufficiently. Adam has graciously given of his time (and his voice) to help this project.

I also hope to resume my bible studies with a young lady named Rahabu ("Rahab" in English). Around the end of December we got together and studied on the unity and the authenticity of the Bible. She said that she believed the Book was from God, but I still thought she could gain a lot from it.  She traveled to her home for the holidays ( she attends St. Josephs University here in Kisongo but her family lives about 45 minutes away.) the next day but said she would be back this week.

May we live this New Year as Servants of the Most High.

P.s. There should be a little bit more to report on in about a week :)

An Observation

                                                                      An Observation      Recently, Lindsey was hired by World Bible School to hand out lessons and see that they are graded. She thought that stopping by the Arusha Library she might be able to find a few English speaking people with whom she could conduct a bible study. The library is about 30 minutes from our house and in the middle of town.      You can not see it, but it has a downstairs area where the children's section is located. (This picture was not taken by me)       Lindsey asked that I accom...

Well folks, it's been a while since I've written and for that I apologize. I just didn't feel like I had much to say in the progress of the library ( or my life for that matter- we traveled here, we traveled there), but now I clearly have enough. :) Since GBN I have tried to contact several people in  many congregations, attempting to get either one-time funds or monthly support.  I've gotten some  no's and have yet to receive any donations. But I've been told that you have to get a certain number of "no's" before you can get any "yes's".  I just spent the last  week in Montgomery. Dad was recording a class that he's teaching at Faulkner ( he's not going to be able to be there for all the semester). Me and David tagged along, hoping to get a few things done. Todd had agreed to give me some driving lessons and Robert Waggoner had told me to stop by when I got the chance and go through some books of his to see if I w...

Reaching Out

Hello from Pa! We had another great clothing giveaway on November 7th. The congregation really stepped up and we had even more clothes to give out to the community this time. It was a good thing too, because a friend of a family who lost their home to a fire stopped by and gathered up 12-15 bags of clothes and food. That brought our total to 75 bags of clothing and food given out and 18 families aided. We also had a member bring a bunch of books she no longer needed. When I saw this table, all I could think was "I need these!" Even though they were mostly children's books, there was this desire to take them all home with me. I obviously have a problem, hehe. The helpers enjoyed a meal of sloppy joes and baked beans. We would have had a bigger turn out but one of the members needed help moving so 5 or 6 men spent all morning and some of the afternoon assisting them. All in all, it was a great day. Picture on Right: Emily...
