First Week in Arusha

We arrived in Arusha late Sunday night, after a 6 hour long bus ride from Nairobi. We stayed with a friend, Charnelle and didn't get there until around 11pm. We stayed with her until today (Thursday), and now we have gone to stay at some other friends' house- Mike and Lyndell Rothery. We are very grateful for good friends to house us while we are house hunting.

The house we were in when we left is no longer available, so we are searching for another place to live. We have so far looked at 6 houses, and have had many leads. We are praying for the Lord's leading, however. Every house so far has required 3 months rent up front, and the last one even wanted 1 year's rent up front. That is not what we have been used to, we have always paid monthly.

We have been able to meet with Prosper and discuss the news of the church. Bill is meeting with Prosper and another church leader tomorrow about some issues that church is facing right now.

We look forward to seeing more of our friends again, and getting back into the swing of things... and most of all, to move into our own house!

a We enjoyed catching up with Prosper over dinner tonight.
