Getting Ready to Leave-Tuesday

Heard from the team (reception on phone was terrible today & we got cut off once). They will are working their way to the airport now & will be on their way in the air to Amsterdam about 3pm our time. They spent 2 nites in Ruaha. They drove thru a pride of 21 lions! (females w/cubs & 3 males!). We were assured that April did NOT get eaten by any lions. One night elephants came down both sides of the guys' banda to the river-that must have been a sight to behold! They spent last night at the Morogoro Jr Secondary Seminary where Pr Isaac Chengula teaches & the met up w/ the Asst Bishop. Then came in to Dar this morning. They went on a ferry ride to an island today & then to the local fish market in Dar. Just before they left the girls spent some more time at the school & rick went to see Siphael's samaki (fish) ponds. They all went on the hike and also to the irrigation project a few days before they left. Of course it was difficult for everyone on both sides at the going away party.........it is hard to leave.

Pray for their safe travels in the air on the way home & for Beatrice (first time on an airplane!)
