Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

I put two clocks to the right on my blog here.  The top one shows our local time and the other shows time in Tanzania.  So, why the one from a place over an ocean away?  Well, Dana and I have begun communication with the Uganda-Tanzania Branch (UTB) exploring a possible assignment with them.  This is ONLY the preliminary stages and we have not even received an invitation from them.  But, what happens from here is they will receive our personnel file, review it and vote whether they's like to extend an invitation to us.  Then, it is up to us to accept and begin looking at some sort of time frame.  Of course the latter part is EXTREMELY hard to judge as it is dependent on how our partnership development grows.

The position that UTB wants to fillis focused on a 10-language group called the Mbeya Cluster.  There are over 1 million people among these 10 language groups so the potential for impacting lives is great.  If we end up taking this assignment, our first five months there would be spent in Swahili language school and UTB orientation.  We are excited about possibly ending up in Africa!
