Getting Ready to Go

Tomorrow we attempt to leave for Tanzania. Two good things happened today. We received the money back from the first car guy and we got a letter from a vet in Tanzania. Praise the Lord. The success of those two things lifted our spirits.

Since I was in the house all day yesterday with Nala while George ran all over Nairobi working on the paperwork, I was feeling restless today. On our way to Gordon's on Sunday, I noticed a new mall that had been built since I last spent time in Nairobi. I was able to take a matatu there and get out of the house for a bit this afternoon. It was refreshing. I ate at my favorite restaurant, Java, and walked around the mall briefly before going back. The stores are really expensive, so I didn't buy anything, but it was nice to see what was there.

The car we hired is supposed to arrive tomorrow at 7:00am. The guy promised to be here before 7:00. If he does, we'll load up the luggage and head into town. At 8:00 the ministry of livestock opens and Lord willing, George will be able to get the transport documents we need to cross the border. If all goes well, we'll be on the road to Korogwe by 9:00 and will arrive before 7:00 tomorrow evening.

Please keep up the prayers!
