We went on a LONG trip starting the 1st of this month. We left our house at 4 A.M. to drive the long trip to Dar es salaam the first day. We were with Temboh (the evangelism school principal), Owen Zimba (the chef from Riverside, Zambia), and Blaston Kisoso (one of the evangelism school teachers,) and we traveled in the evangelism school vehicle.

Our effort in Liwale went well. We had three people baptized. Praise the lord! And many more people have asked for Bible studies. Many of the days that we were in Liwale, I translated for the meetings three or more hours a day. I especially liked translating for Owen in the cooking classes.

On our way back we left Liwale at 4:19 A.M. and took the roundabout-way that goes through Nachingwea, Masasi, Lindi and finally Dar es salaam.
When we arrived at the turning point to the shortcut or long way around (roundabout-way) we had lunch with some of our previous students. Guess what they had out back? A pet monkey! How’s that for fun? He liked to check my pockets, groom my hair, eyebrows and many other things!

We arrived in Dar es salaam around 9 P.M. We stayed in Dar es salaam for two nights.
We left Dar es salaam around 3 A.M. and arrived in Mafinga around 4 P.M. It was pouring rain when we got to Mafinga. There was an inch or more of water running down the streets, and about 4 inches or more running down the drainage ditches.
We got back to Kibidula safely. On the 7th of January we will start the Medical Missionary course for one month.
