Katrina's creativity

 
      Now that we are back, Katrina is back to baking!  She made me homemade granola, and she made some apple turnovers.  Both recipes, she made up on their own.  Very creative, and good!

Back in Arusha again!

We're back!
 
 
 
We are getting settled in again, after our 1 year and 4 month furlough.  It's SOO good to be back.  We are staying in the same compound we lived before, and the kids have meet their friends again.  It's wonderful to meet up with our friends and ministry contacts again.
   We first flew into Nairobi, and spent two nights there before taking a 5 hour bus ride down to Arusha.  It took a taxi and a taxi-van to get us and our 15 pieces of luggage to our house.  We slept the first night in our house, and have been unpacking and getting organized ever since!  We started school the Wednesday after arriving- the kids were eager to get started again.  It's slowly starting to feel like home again.
     We don't currently have a vehicle, so I've been hoofing it!  I walk almost everyday, usually to the nearby fruit stand to get some veggies for dinner or other small things.  If we need to go into town, we have to hire a taxi, so we try to limit out trips and do lots of things at once.
     We went to Moshono Christian Church yesterday, and were very blessed to see everyone again.  I feel blessed to be here.
 
 

They put a playground in at our compound while we were gone.
