Scenes of Africa

Home again, home again! Our group finally landed in Charlotte at around 11:15 last night...we were supposed to be there at 7:00. So, I was welcomed home by the puppies a few minutes after 1:30 this morning. I cat-napped on the planes for maybe 5-6 hours total in the 50 hours I was awake in the past few days, and so was more than happy to see my bed this morning! Before another nap...here are a few pictures from the trip:

Landing strip in Tabora...

Tabora airport

Inside of Moravian church in Tabora, where the women's conference was held

Batikis made by the women of Tabora, for sale.

Wearing our new batikis...

Children in Tabora - they loved to have their picture taken!

Moravian campus where we stayed.

Molly and I at closing banquet of the women's conference.

Hospital in Sikonge. The open area in the middle is to provide room for families to come and stay and help care for their loved ones in the hospital. They cook food for the patient and help them with any personal care while they are patients. Nurses do not provide those services as they do here.

My birthday cake in Dar es Salaam!

The Indian Ocean!

And finally, a few scenes from when we were travelling:

Africa Bound

Despite the lack of posts, it has been a busy year for this Lamb household, but not too much traveling. Until now.... This week I leave for Tanzania to spend 17 days doing mission work. I firmly believe that the women with whom we spend most of our time will give to me much more than I can give to them, and I am so very grateful for this opportunity. There are 12 women total in our group from North America, two of whom have already left.

Travel plans - Charlotte --> Dulles --> London --> Nairobi --> Dar es Salaam --> Tabora

I'm tired just thinking about it....

The map shows Dar es Salaam, on the coast where we will initally fly into. Then we will fly into Tabora, about a two hour flight into the country.

I hope to be able to post some while we are there, but it depends on what we have access to. We will return with plenty of pictures, many stories of adventure and blessings beyond belief, I am sure.
