I wanted to share with you this ridiculous memory from Tanzania…..It made me cry with laughter tonight when i viewed it again and thought it wasn’t fair not to post it.  So, let me give you some history on this part of the race before you view, just so you get the whole picture of what our travels were really like…..

  • For the first week of ministry during month #7, while the rest of the squad went ahead to Tanzania – Austin & I stayed in Kenya with 6 other members of our squad, some of which were dealing with pneumonia, Typhoid, malaria, stomach ulcers, and ovarian cysts.
  • Week 2 of month #7 consisted of flying with a teammate who was extremely ill, back to America from Niarobi Kenya and returning to Africa 24 hrs later. Upon arriving back in Kenya, Austin and I then caught a bus to Tanzania to meet up with the squad.
  • :::::::Insert Video footage here::::::
  •  Our assigned seats are taken (Apparently Africans are first come, first serve/ no order on buses even though the tickets have a seat number assigned) Have to sit in the very last seat on a packed bus with a metal slab tied on as a substitute for a window.
  • Metal sheet window blows out, dirt pours in for 2 hours straight before they fix the window.
  • Don’t have ATM to get currency= can’t eat- very hungry! 
  • Hit a bump in the African Pot hole roads, Austin & Krissy get launched and Austin hits his head on the overhead compartment, breaks compartment, Austin’s head cut open and bleeding.
  • Dirt in teeth
  • Get a phone call 1 hour from destination saying that one of our teams had been robbed at gunpoint and all their things had been stolen….

OH this is Africa…..
