Our day to day life as a MAF family. We started out working with MAF in Dodoma, Tanzania. We lived there from November 2009 until January 2014. We then waited in "Limbo Land" in Nairobi, Kenya for around 6 months, whilst waiting to move on to our new posting in South Sudan. This blog mostly relates tales of our time in Tanzania, so I have kept its original title to reflect the majority of the blog content! :-)

A multitude of Ministers
Quite a sight greeted us recently as we drove into town one Sunday morning, on our way to the cathedral. We were running late (as usual!!) but instead of rushing, we were delayed by this incredibly long procession of church ministers:
I have never seen so many ministers all at once! The procession lasted most of the way through town, with some great singing as they meandered through the main streets. There was a national Lutheran meeting of pastors here in Dodoma for a few days, so they were on their way to their Sunday morning meeting at Dodoma's main Lutheran church, opposite the Anglican cathedral. It was quite an event for the usually quieter city of Dodoma!
