Taking a Break

A working draft of Gordon's translation work is completed, and Margaret has finished her work at the clinic for the season. We are packing our bags and saying to all our new friends "tutaonana" -- not good-bye, but "we shall meet again."

In just a couple days we will be leaving Mwanza and returning to North America for about 4 months. We will be reconnecting with our family and visiting with our friends and supporters while there. Then sometime in September we will return, God willing, to Mwanza for another longer term.

It has been a real blessing to have spent our last six months in Tanzania. We have learned much about another culture. It is sometimes amazing to see how God works in the hearts and lives of people who live a life quite different from what we are accustomed to. If our paths cross in the next few months, be sure to ask about our experiences. We would love to share something of what we have experienced in Tanzania.
