Conference in the Homeland of Tukuyu

Jan 21, 2014 | Tanzania

Today, we began the conference in Tukuyu hosted by the Rev. Harry Mwasanjala, the chief in the Nyakyusa. Bonnie spoke on Spiritual Disciplines, Bernard spoke on Leadership, and Floyd spoke on trust as the foundation for a relationship with God and each other.

We had a great time of worship. You should see Bonnie cut loose in dancing with her people. The Canaan Baptist Church Choir is outstanding. Raymond also led in worship along with Sadiki. Pawdre Scout translated for Bonnie. Bernard did not need a translator as he spoke Swahili. Mpeli translated for Floyd.

We had to stop for a few dozen bananas this morning on the way to the conference. We had a great time at the conference.

Harry has claimed Bonnie and Floyd as his children. He has adopted Bonnie as his daughter. Despite the pouring rain, we visited the property that Harry has given to Queen Bonnie. We also visited the grave of our mother, Catherine Mwasanjala, who went to be with the Lord in late November.
