I love Tanzanian fruits and vegetables and chili sauce... but I wouldn't say there is a Tanzanian dish that I'm enchanted with. However, here you see a photo of the night Emily and I went out with a family from school for Ethiopian food... which is DELICIOUS! We have a few Ethiopian restaurants in town, and I very much enjoy eating lentils, tomato salad, injeera (sourdough "tortillas"), and pumpkin wat... all with my FINGERS!

Sunrise on Easter

Easter morning I gathered with friends to watch God's glory in creation and contemplate His glory in the new covenant...

     "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-     not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them," says the Lord.     "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says the Lord; "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hears; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.     No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying 'know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," says the Lord. "For I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will remember no more."      

Jeremiah 31:31-34

Happy Green Grocer

I've been excited to tell about the Happy Green Grocer for some time now. It's such a happy place, full of mangoes and greens and butternut squash! It's nearby too, and the shop keepers are happy! Ali and I went one evening last month and I finally remembered to take a picture.

Mbeya Trip

 Small aircraft!

I went with two friends to Mbeya, in the south of Tanzania, for Easter Break. We got to fly to Mbeya on a small aircraft!

Mbeya is peaceful and beautiful. We hiked up Loleza Peak, pictured here. It was so good to get out on a hike. There are sunflowers everywhere, grown for the oil.

Mbeya was cold, especially to my thin Dar blood!
We stayed with two SIL friends. I got to visit friends who I did SIL training with this summer. Pictured here is a couple who are beginning linguistic work on a new language in the Mbeya cluster project. I also visited families who have young kids, to discuss possiblities for teaching in the future (after I finish my 2 years in Dar). I'm not making any decisions now (even about whether I'll stay in Africa or not), but it's good to hear about possibilities. Please pray that God would guide the exploring and decision making.
