We made it!


Thank you all for your prayers for safe travels!! Jenny and I just walked into our "new home" and were quickly greeted by Bruce and some of the other volunteers. It is 12:00 here....4:00 in Memphis. It truly seemed like our flights were never ending...but it was all worth it when we heard the words "Welcome to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania"! We got our Visas, our bags ALL made it, and we headed to our new place. We heard that we would go through training, but the other volunteers said that we will just forget about that, and begin teaching tomorrow morning. The kids are 5 & 6 year olds- which really excites me! We are so excited and thankful to be here.

Will keep you all up to date....
Lauren, Jenny & Bruce
