In a short email received today from Shannon he says he still does not have luggage or a working CPAP. He did say he seemed to have a breakthrough with sleep yesterday and was able to get more than previously. Gee, I wonder if it is from all of the prayers going up on his behalf by friends and family.
He was able to contact Rob and Kara Howell and meet up with them today. Rob and Kara are Michigan natives that are currently serving God while in Mwanza. They are doing something very similar with Tumaini Children's Home as what we are planning to do. Shannon toured the home and says it is much like he has pictured for the home we hope to build. Tumaini is located on 40 acres with a view of Lake Victoria. Rob and Kara have 4 children, 3 girls and a boy. M is excited about them as the girls are in her age range. She sent them a letter introducing our family along with some gum, stickers and a bouncy ball.
Shannon said he has plans to meet up with another couple tomorrow. I will update more on that then.
The rest of the Tanzania team should still be on Maisome Island. The plan was for a Pastors and Leaders conference Monday and Tuesday daytime with Open Air Crusades in the evenings. Please keep those 6 people in your thought and prayers as they are likely experiencing very difficult living conditions right now. There is no electricity on the island and the hotel last year was a tough place to get much rest.
