The Journey Begins
Now is the time to start following our blogs as we travel from Hickory, North Carolina to Mbeya, Tanzania. It begins today.
We are currently packing and should be about done with that. Should be. Hopefully. I haven’t been extremely involved in that process so I’m not totally sure where we are.
This afternoon we drive to Charlotte to stay with some friends tonight. They asked us what we wanted for dinner. Hot dogs! Yum.
Tomorrow morning we drive to the airport and catch a noon-ish flight to Detroit (oh joy). We go from there to Amsterdam landing Sunday morning. From there we fly to Dar es Salaam with a short stop at the Kilimanjaro airport. Too bad it will be at night so we won’t get to see the mountain. Drats.
We’re picked up Sunday night to stay at a friends house where we then catch a train to Mbeya the next morning.
That’s the plan. We’ll keep you updated as we progress. Please pray. 
(And for my friends – mainly one (you know who you are) – who want to see pictures, we’ll do our best to document our journey that way for you!)

What an adventure! Barbara and I plan to fly to Kilamanjaro and proceed overland to Babati or a village among the Mbugwe, depending on what Julia and Viggo work out. We are hoping for October.
My prayers are certainly with you three. May God bless your journey and keep you safe. I was a bit worried about Julia at one point, and I believe God reassured me that the safest place for anyone to be is at the center of his will!
