Top Ten Encounters: Week 1

1) Crossing the border into Tanzania! I've been dreaming of coming here since I was tiny!


2) Watching eye surgery and the patients eyes being uncovered after recovery. The smiles on their faces when they could see for the first time in years was the best!


3) Stargazing-100X better here!

4) Late night chats with the missionaries we stayed with. 

5) Hitting a large speed bump going 65 mph...happened more than once!

6) Taking my first of many bucket baths.

7) Seeing camels, dick dicks, chameleons, bush-babies, birds, and zebras in the wild!

8) Seeing the GORGEOUS mountains, lakes, watering holes, valleys, rock formations, and sunsets of Tanzania!

9) Learning! About medicine, the Maasai, Betabi, and Sandawe cultures, missionary life, and how amazing God is.

10) Seeing Mt. Killimanjaro!
