Tanzania=awesome

There is not many words I can think of right now to describe the amazing time I have had so far. Right now I am sitting in an internet cafe right now in Arusha, and I don't have much time so I will try to break down this past week for everyone!

Right after everyone arrived we drove two hours to Ndarawkai National Park and have spent the past week there! We basically had Student Orientation at a National Park, I can't ask for anything better than that! WOW.

Over the past week we have been on abut six safari's and have seen anything from giraffes to elephants, we have had three kiswahili classes which were awesome and have met up with the infamous Tanzania/Kenya Masaii tribes. The Masaii peole are some of the coolest types of indigenous people I have ever met! We are fortunate enough to have one for our cultural class professor. His name is Baba Noah, nicest guy, he has killed three lions. (Ki cha cama boga, Crazy like a pumpkin!) He likes to call himselft that! haha. Sorry that I'm all over the place with this blog!

All the students/teachers here are great. Our Academic Director, Baba Jack, is such an intelligent person. You can sit with him and talk politics, people, culture and indigenous tribes for hours and not get bored. Bwana Ndege, our bird expert and Babu Liki, our language instructor are so awesome. They are native Tanzanians and know a lot about the culture and government surrounding Tanzania. We haven't even had an "official" class yet, but I have already learned a lot!

Just got a ten minute warning about the internet so I'm going to get this blog published. It's great to talk to you guys! Please continue to keep me in your prayers, God is doing awesome things! Love you all!
