Now in Dar!

I arrived safely in Dar es Salaam almost a week ago. I can't believe I've been here for a week. The trip here was pretty long and I was very thankful to get off the plane and go to my new home. I had an 8 hour layover in London and did not get to see much of the city but oh well. It was a dreary, cold day in London and I was not prepared. So this is what I saw of it...

I had a day of rest after I got here and the next day I hit the ground running. A volunteer team came in the night that I arrived and I've been spending a lot of time with them on campus. We've been walking around campus each day and meeting some of the students there. There have been some great conversations about the Lord with some of the students. And I have gotten some digits so that I can contact them and begin a relationship with them. Pray that God would help me discern who to pour into. Yesterday I was able to go with one of my roommates to some Bible studies she has and it was so good. We met with this one Muslim girl that she has been storying with. Currently they are going through Acts and we were talking about Saul and his conversion. It was great to be able to share this story with her. Then we shared our stories and our encounter with Christ. She's on the brink of accepting the Lord! She's asked us to pray that God would help her to believe! So be praying that for her. And the volunteer team is so awesome. I've had so much fun spending time with them! So much fun that saying goodbye to them is going to be hard. I thought I was done with goodbyes for a while when I left, but I guess not. Oh well, part of my life. God is faithful through it all!
