First Days

Well, I am officially about to spend my first night in Brad and Tricia Henderson's home. I arrived at the airport at about 9 last night and we stayed at a hotel in Arusha.

This morning we visited a missionary couple in Arusha who have an established church and have started a school and medical clinic. They had about 150 kids at their school.

When we were taking the 5 hour trip today to Katesh we stopped in a town and witnessed a a group pinning a man down in a cart. I thought at first that they were in a fight, on oddly a cart being pulled down the road, but Pastor Brad said that they were taking the man to jail, probably for stealing. Groups of people were along the road cheering them on and running along side the cart. It was interesting to see. Apparently loyalty to each other in those circumstances is a big thing.
The road to Katesh was crazy. Probably the first hour was paved, and after that was all dirt.
But it wasnt just a plain old dirt road. It was extremely bumpy. You had to constantly brace yourself. It looked like ditches in the middle of the road that Brad was constantly going around. In some parts it was so bad that you couldnt drive on the road at all! No wonder they drive Safari cars. All safari means in Swhahili is journey.... and boy, was it a journey. I will never complain about American roads again.
So long for now.
