Living in Morogoro, Tanzania, Susie will likely be able to teach, while I work as pastor for the church among the Massai people. Both of us will learn Swahili in the first several months of our time there.

Congratulations!!!! When do you get to start this adventure?
That is a GREAT picture of both of you!!
My last Sunday at Pella will be the last Sunday in June. We have training in Chicago July 13. Leaving the country mid August. Tentatively we are hoping to come to Denver area early August. Will the Magyars be home this summer? Would love to see you again before we leave the country.
The picture of Susie and I was taken on the Sea of Galilee.
