Location: Bunda, Tanzania

The first official ministry time in Tanzania started this day with a preach at a church in Bunda.

Afterwards we went to a missionary's house for lunch and home made icecream :) This is the courtyard of the missionary's house, with Naftali (our main translator) sitting in the foreground.



Close-up of the rock in the previous photograph. The length from the head to the hind legs (excluding tail) of that lizard would be about the length of a hand.

In other words - a big, fat, juicy lizard.



Location: Serengeti district, Tanzania

After some travel we managed to enter the Serengeti district. The team stopped at this village just inside Serengeti for a soda. Little did we know what lies ahead of us...



Within half an hour of the previous photo, the first of the many tribulations the team had with transportational infrastructure has begun.

To the left is Florence the van (albeit tidied up from last year) which decided to split the gearbox casing when attempting to traverse a rut in the road. During the unscheduled stop (and inevitable drawing in of the crowd), the team was able to speak to quite a few people. Eventually a new van was found (right), and the team's gear is being transferred...



Location: Maburi, Tanzania

Around 9 o'clock the team managed to arrive at Maburi. The team held a crusade style meeting after dinner.

The night meetings are made possible by the services of a generator. Notice how the wires are "secured" into the power board - with twigs. Every missionary should really try to setup this sometime...:)
