God is so faithful in providing what we need when we need it and I've watched as He has worked in marvelous ways throughout my furlough.
Last Sunday I spoke at Fahlun Lutheran Church and was blessed. Everyone is so warm and welcoming.

Starting Sunday, I had the privilege of teaching the 3-5 year olds each evening at Vacation Bible school in Rose City. What a sweet bunch with an eager love for Jesus. In addition to teaching the 3-5 year olds I gave a 'mission' talk, I had the opportunity to speak about Wycliffe, more about Tanzania, and more about some of the families I will work with in Mbeya. The kids raised money to help ship books over for the school I will start.
So...what else am I up to? I have started checking through supplies and purchasing/pricing some things. You'll see some of my list below; if there are any things I missed that you think of that would be helpful in the classroom, or if you have any supplies you would like to donate...Please let me know! :) Thanks!! (The items in blue are items I am looking to take with me/ship. Items in black are available in TZ)
General Supplies:
Pocket folders(plastic)
