We made it here to Tanzania and are pumped to be doing ministry. We are working with a national Church here and doing door to door ministry trying to bring more people to Christ in this area of Tanzania. Our living situation rocks; the only thing I have to say about it is that we live on top of a hill which makes life very interesting. To put it simply I am an extrovert and tend to get restless fairly easily, so when there are 11 people living in a house on a hill and there is not much to do we have to create things to do, so here is a list of things that we have decided can be good if your living on a hill:
Cards Games: but not any card games be creative, we have started to make up card games. Including the one where each card has a different question that you have to answer.
Playing guitar: don’t know how to play, don’t worry the race is the perfect time to learn how. And even though you’ve been playing for two months expect to lead worship, so just be prepared.
Getting to know the team: There is always time to ask a bunch of questions
Play with African Children: They love time playing with a Mzungu, white person, and they are super fun to play games with.
Go on a walk: the best activity we have is walking down the mountain and then back up it, who needs in insanity when you have a hill.
Finally we’ve decided to spend time in ATL, just taking part of our day and asking God what he wants us to do with the day rather than just doing what we want. Maybe going and working with some construction workers, praying with people or just sitting in awe of God’s creation.
So if you ever find yourself on a hill in the middle of Africa looking for things to do, hope this list helps you entertain yourself.
