First Day in village of Bulima in Tanzania

We flew from Nairobi to Mwanza, Tanzania early Thursday morning, July 21.  John's cousin's daughter, Sonya, picked up at the tiny airport and took us out for pizza!  After a day of doing errands with her and her friend, Julie, we arrived late in the village where Nassa Theological College is located.  We were suffering from jet lag so we went to bed  early and slept great.  We woke up to the choir of African birds, crazy roosters and a busy morning.  It was rehearsal day for the graduation ceremony.  We went and John met all his students and friends from the college.  Sylvia got to meet all those wonderful people John had been talking for the last few years.  You can see the graduating class and their wives.  We were pleased that the coming graduating classes are much more balanced between men and women.  We were invited to go and visit John's special student friend, Jeremiah Ngosso,, who always provided a cold soda for him after teaching every day.  His wife Monica and four children are a beautiful picture of Africa.  Pray for us tomorrow as John will speak at the graduation ceremony.
