Making the move.

The day we packed up... All our staff was there to help. It was a lot of work. They loaded everything into a big truck but it was not the one we had planned on getting so they sent another one that evening. The guys worked hard that night on filling the second truck. It was kinda sad leaving our little hub there in Dar but we know it was the right thing to do for this time. My back was still in so much pain during all this transition!

Our empty house.


These are the two trucks.


21 beating hearts in our car. all the rabbits, turtles and dogs there was barely room for us!! It felt like a very long trip.

Some pictures of Kilimanjaro.


That night we checked for availability at more backpacker places but it was completely full. We found a hotel across the street that was perfect for one night. With all the stress of transition, a sore back and having to wait on the buses we decided to stay there. It was just the peace I needed! Arusha is cold and this place had a beautiful tub! chocolates on your pillow... like real ones. And breakfast was just incredible. I loved it. However the buses arrived at 1 and 3 in the morning, but because it was accross the street Nick could just walk over to unload. However poor guy did not come back to the hotel until 5 in the morning. First thing we did was make our beds in our new home!
We had a week to get a little settled then Nick and I split ways. He went to Dar to pick up Pastor Rick Dubose and Mike Powell. Took them to Dodomma for council. I went to Kenya to visit with family and see a doctor about my back.
