Want to share conversations with Dave (our son in Tanzania with the Peace Corps) so that you can share in his adventure beyond what he has time to put in his own blog.
For example, many have wondered who the girl was in the blog "wtf moments". It was one of his fellow PC trainees (PCTs) who was serving because the bride or groom was a member of her host family. You may remember that Dave was there with his "brother". I put "brother" in quotes, but it sounds like the families really treat the PCTs as family in every way.
Dave has settled in. He plays guitar for his family.
Took 3 pair of underwear for 2 years in Africa and thinks he may have brought too much.
He does get mail. We sent a package to him the week he left for Africa and it got to him in two weeks. You can send mail to the address on his blog page.
He should know where he will be placed in a couple weeks.
He has seen the Southern Cross (Crux).
He is taking malaria prophalaxis once a week variety.
His host family's last name is Nyabange.
He is teaching real students now and likes it.
He went on a "safari" in Mikumi National Park about 3 hours from Morogoro and saw all kinds of wild animals lions elephants giraffe hippos crocodiles impalas wildebeast warthogs gazelle monkeys and baboons. At night he stayed at a hotel which featured a king size bed and western toilets which is nice.
Today he had a very nice birthday - cupcakes to celebrate and well wishes from his fellow PCTs. I know he will appreciate all the Facebook HBs. Thanks, you guys.
Lastly, today's My Utmost for His Highest scripture is Matt 28:19 - I will leave it to you to look it up, but suffice it to say it is appropriate on this young man's birthday.
Thats it for now. LPJ
