On Friday, I took a trip up to Ilembo in the Malila language area for the testing of Ruth and Jonah. Those who went were Pastor Mwahalende, Pastor Mwampamba (both Malila), a new Scripture Use colleague named Jo and me. The trip started off well until we stop for a water-the-forest break, if you catch [...]
On the way back from conference, we pass through a horrendous stretch of unpaved road between the Kenya border and Tanga, Tanzania. To give you a glimpse of why this is the most dreaded part of the conference travel every year, I asked Dana to video a short piece so that we may show you.
This is a litle piece of video I shot while waiting for our turn to pass through some road construction in Iringa.
This is the place we stayed at on our first stop on the way to conference. We liked it a lot with the exception of the short bed. It was really difficult trying to sleep diagonally. FYI, I’m 6′3″. The room was Tsh. 50,000.
In an earlier post, I told you how our car is getting demon-pounced, or so it seems. So, has something broken this week? No. Last week? No. Hey, 2 in a row is an accomplishment. Turning to the repairs to be done, I just ordered a new suspension system from Dallas, TX because the cost [...]

Makete is becoming my favorite place here. You can see why…
Recording is going absolutely wonderful. As a matter of fact, I’m sitting here about to finish the last three songs. RUTH was finished yesterday and JONAH the day before. Six days of work has only taken three and [...]
Richard and I pulled out of Oilcom a few minutes past dawn and after topping off with diesel. The 2-hour ride to Makambako was uneventful although we were able to listen to two John Piper sermons using my media player. Our stop in Makambako was necessary to pick up Mchungaji (pastor) Mbogela. His home was [...]
So I hit the wall of people many cars before I am able to see the dogs. No choice. Gotta go. Long legs help a lot in stepping over people… and their children… and their bags… and a little of everything else they seem to be traveling with by train.
It took me about 15 minutes [...]
Heavy Luggage
I’ll pick up the rest of Mazoezi ya Treni later. I wanted to show you a shot of what we traveled with to Tanzania. This is a fully loaded Isuzu Rodeo. The only space on the inside was a sliver of seat in the back middle for Dana, Asher’s car seat mounted next to [...]
