Summer Fun

Even though it’s technically winter here and the temperatures are dropping into the 70s, we can still call it summer! It has been quite a fun summer. The students have been away on vacation, but we have found lots to do in their absence. Here are a few highlights to the summer.

The arrival of our summer volunteer, crazy Katelyn Saylor!

A farewell party to all of our students as they headed back home for vacation

A trip to Dodoma to visit my friend Neema

A trip to Morogoro to visit my friend Asha

Of course a few trips to the beach

A visit at my friend Tina’s house with her family

A visit with my friend Dominica and her new baby, Mauree

A great two weeks with my wonderful college roommate, Denise, including a safari and trip to the beautiful island of Zanzibar

4th of July party at the American Embassy on the 6th of July… we’re still in Africa

Working at an orphanage with a volunteer team

Team Retreat… to the beach of course (We have to take advantage of the opportunities God has given us!)

A wild and crazy trip to Uganda to visit my friend Eleanor

And to top it all off, Marissa and I leave tomorrow for vacation in Italy. A wonderful end to a wonderful summer. Then it’s back to work… I promise Mom!
