Goodbye to Bukoba

We had a long and emotional farewell on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. It's amazing how close we have become with our hosts in just one week. As Judith said, it is because Christ has already made us one. 

Grace, Judith, and LuAnn all came to the airport with us this morning to see us off. They even remained there on the other side of security throughout the weather related delay. Before too long, we boarded the plane and flew back over Lake Victoria, saying farewell to Bukoba--at least for now. 

After a second flight and a long car ride, we have settled into a gorgeous resort in Ngorongoro region, right next to the famous crater. Tomorrow we will enter the national park in search of wildlife. 

Before we begin that part of our journey, however, we would like to say one last thank you to our new friends in Bukoba. Here's a picture taken at Judith and Solomon's house after they surprised us with a cake for Linda's and Nancy's birthdays.
