Friday morning we all parted as a group. Thursday night was emotional as a team to try and grasp all that we had experienced as a group, as well as to part as a team and go separate ways … for Danica, Tami and Andrew, they headed for different destinations. Tami headed home, Danica headed to Whitehorse to work, and Andrew was heading for another 4 weeks of travel to Jordan and Egypt, etc …. The rest of the group
traveled Friday morning by bus (again … not as long as before but still as grueling) to Mwanza to experience a safari. We stayed overnight and headed out early Saturday morning for the Serengeti … What an amazing experience! We saw so many beautiful animals and were in the middle of such grandeur …. it was unbelievable and we often had to pinch ourselves to believe we were there! unfortunately, we did not get to see a lion or cheetah (apparently no one had seen any large cats for days) …. but we sar 26 giraffes, 4 elephants, many zebras, wildebeasts, etc, etc., etc ….. It was such a tremendous experience!!!

This morning we experienced part of a worship service here in Mwanza … again, such wonderful singing and worship. What a privilege! Now we are preparing to fly to Dar Es Salaam where we will be for almost 2 days. We will then begin the long journey back home on Tuesday evening. What an unbelievable time we have had! We cannot wait to share with you in person once we arrive home!

Please continue to pray for safety and health … many of us have battled stomach cramps and the intestinal issues … we are so thankful for safety and being spared real illnesses while here! We look forward to seeing you all in person …. Blessings to youfrom Tanzania!
