MOSHI, Tanzania Days1-3

Hi Everyone!
We have arrived safely in Tanzania and are doing well! As soon as we got off the plane we went straight to Fountain of Hope where they welcomed us into the community with an amazing dance and song! They were so welcoming and sweet! Even though we were super tired from the long flight we were able to enjoy everything!
Our second and third day we were able to go into downtown Moshi, see all the different shops and experience that part of the town. It was alot of fun being able to get some fun souvenirs too! We went to the Nursery school where we introduced them to a few skits, songs and games. They loved David and Goliath... (yes they guessed it right when Andrea was David and Dylan was Goliath!)
We had them teach us some of their songs and games which was a fun experience for all of us. We were also able to go to New Life Foundations home and clean it out for a pastors retreat that will be coming up this weekend. We were so happy to be able to help that process along... it was a very dirty house:) The back yard to this house was at the foot of Kilimanjaro... we were able to hike down to a stream right at the foot. ( It was absolutely breathtaking)!!

Our next couple of days we will be going to a couple other orphanages and loving on the kids, playing games and showing them our skits. Its funny because I know we are ministering to them but I feel like they are ministering to us as well. These kids have so much passion for God and it is so evident when they worship. Eyes closed, hands raised, singing at the top of their lungs. AMAZING.

We will be going to Kibaoni Village on Saturday and be able to minister to children with different crafts and fun things that were donated.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support! We appreciate it all!

I will try to post in the next couple of days
