One of the fun things working with a school that has such a wide range of ages all mixed together is that as the kids grow (mentally and emotionally) they change. Our oldest kids could start to experience puberty before their final year at our school in two years. Every year I have a group…

Kindness Birthday Celebration
Those of you who have been reading my blog for years (both of you) may remember Kindness being talked about in another blog. It was one of the early years of Tumaini Evangelistic Pre & Primary School. She would fall asleep on the ride home from school and would be nearly impossible to wake up….
New School Year
2We have started our fifth year as Primary School and are excited to start off on some good notes. Last year we took our first government standardized test and our kids did pretty well. We had 5 students get an A, 2 students got a B and one student got a C. In our ward…
Christmas Time in Tanzania
Yes it is that time of year again. The very busy time of looking for gifts so that each of our 144 students, 14 staff members and some of their kids can experience God’s Love through physical gifts provided by so many people. I get the good fortune of being the one who provides them…

Finally I am back in Tanzania
My apologies this blog has taken so long to be posted. Typically, when I arrive in Tanzania, I am swept up in looking for changes and problems and trying to remember all the kids names. Now multiple that by the fact I was gone for 9 months instead of 1 month. Add to that early…
Back to Tanzania
So it is finally going to happen. I am headed back to Tanzania. This has been my longest break since starting in the full time mission field and the most “in limbo” I have felt. I think it is funny that it was the US Government that led to all this confusion and not the…
