Day 1 in Morogoro

Day 1

We arrived to Dar Es Salaam at 3:30am Tanzania time. 

Customs and VISA procedures went quickly and without any trouble. 

Emanuel M. Simon arrived an promptly at 3:30am and was waiting outside the doors to greet us. He has a smile a mile wide, and is one of the most humble and joyful people I have ever met. We are so blessed that he opened up his home to us. 

We started on the 3 and a half hour journey to the city of Morogoro. During the drive Timmy, Daniel and I were struggling staying awake. We all got under 4 hours of sleep on the plane ride here. As dawn was approaching my eyes were very quickly moving around to try and get the first glimpse of this beautiful place. Our first views were busy dirt roads full of people all getting prepared for the day, but as they were all hustling around they all had very content looks on their faces. Time moves very slowly here and I love it.

Our first visit in the city was Public Health and Nursing College (PHN) in Morogoro.We were allowed 45 minutes of time to share a message with the 1st year students that are studying there. First Daniel first shared his testimony. Following Daniel's testimony Timmy lead worship, and than shared a message about joy. The students were very receptive and happy to hear the word. At the conclusion of it, Emanuel summarized it all in Swahili for the students to better understand it. The students all speak English, but some do not understand as much as others. 

The next stop was to International Christian Center Church. There we had a prayer meeting and worship.

God is here with us.
