I had the best intentions of writing blog posts more regularly
but once again I must apologise for failing to do this! Quite a lot has
happened so here are a few highlights!
Rehema had an exciting and busy month in April. We had to
postpone our Easter fair by a week due to heavy rain that flooded the paths at
Rehema! The rain had started the evening before and showed no signs of
stopping! The fair took place the week after and was definitely worth the wait!
We had such a good day with so many customers coming to enjoy the great food
and fun games. It seemed like everyone was having fun and enjoying themselves
and there was such a fantastic atmosphere all day. The Go MAD team were an
amazing help and were excellent models in the fashion show!
I celebrated my 21st birthday in April. My third
birthday spent in Africa! I had such an incredible day, starting at breakfast
when I was taken out onto the porch to find that the whole Go MAD team had come
over for a birthday breakfast! I was later collected and taken to a surprise
destination which turned out to be the spa at Rehema! I had a lovely afternoon
being pampered with Deb, Claire and Nat. In the evening I heard the sound of
the Go MAD girls walking over to my house singing High School Musical and we
had a girly evening watching it!
As some of you may already know, I had an interview in April
to attend All Nations Christian College. The exciting news is that they have
offered me a place to study there on a 2 year course starting at the end of
September! It will be so hard to leave Tanzania but I am excited to start at
All Nations and for all I will learn there.
I had the most amazing day climbing a HUGE hill in Bunda, a
place an hour away from Musoma. I had wanted to climb it for a while and was
determined to do it before leaving Tanzania. The perfect opportunity arose when
five of the families here were getting together to go up. I joined them and had
so much fun! The walk was tough and we were all very hot but there were
incredible views from the top. It was great to see all the children (about 22
or so!) having a great time together and nearly running up like mountain goats!
On the way down we stopped at a water hole that a couple of the families had
created and all enjoyed running in and splashing around. I wasn’t too keen on
the water scorpions in there with us but was assured they wouldn’t hurt me! I
had a truly fantastic day and am now even more determined to make the most of
every opportunity in the rest of my time here.
Now this definitely isn’t a highlight...in April Nat
finished at Rehema and returned to the UK. We came out to Tanzania and muddled
our way through life together trying to adjust to living in Africa and had much
fun along the way! I was very sad to see her leave and life has been very
different without her here.
