January bits of news
Not much to write today, but it has been a bit since I last wrote so I'll catch everyone up a bit. The new nursury school at Starehe headed up by Tini has now begun, which is pretty exciting. The beginning has gone mostly really well I think. The kids are all back to school, study time is back after school (but now in the new school, which the kids love) and life is back to normal after the excitement of the holidays. Some new volunteers have been here, first a couple of German girls, now 4 men from Alberta, and in the other house a young couple from Alberta as well. All very nice, we've had lots of fun, the guys and I played the Farming Game (board game a bit like monopoly) last night and had lots of fun. University applications are underway, not sure if they will all get in on time though because TTCL has been under a lot the past few weeks. Hopefully that is better now and it will all go through. And, the directing couple that was in Canada for 2 months is back, so now all 4 are again around which is nice. Anyways, that's all for now, and more to come as long as internet is back to normal now. :)

Hey buddy! I forgot about the farming game - what a game! Let's not forget about Skipo... or maybe we should (ha ha ha).
eh Steve-
I don't mean to be an ardent nationalist, but it looks like we've got some great Canadian content over there in Tanzania! It's good to see the Canadian Church doing some real good across the world. Of course, it's primarily about the individuals, something that transcends boundaries and borders, so praise God for everything that's going on there!
Which grad schools did you apply to? And when do you hope to be going for? Maybe do some Turkish history under Brockett back here at WLU?
Hey Steve,
Thanks for the letter...glad to hear you are still finding people to play board games with:)...so when do all these grad school applications have to be in by/where did you apply to/any news on whether you will be going to Turkey? I found out I got into law school at Western the other day so that was pretty exciting...Katie is probably more excited:) Its nice to have one less variable to worry about for next year.
Anyways, I hope you are enjoying your time in Tanzania,
Peace,
James
