After years of prayer, months of preparation and waiting, four flights and a nine hour time change, we have finally arrived in Tanzania!!! It is great to be here.
We were greeted at the airport by the ELCA Regional Representatives, Bob and JMe Lowden, and they have been treating us very well. They have helped us find the bank and the cell phone shop; they have introduced us to many people and given us many helpful insights into the language and culture.
We have been welcomed repeatedly, "Karibu!" by the friendly Tanzanian people. It will be so meaningful to begin language training, which starts on Monday, so that we are better able to make relationships and get to know people.
Salama (peace)

I'm glad you made it safely. I know you're going to have great stories to tell when you come back. Praying for your safety.
Dear Sue and Josh,
Your blog is great! It will mean a lot to keep in touch this way. Today I bought a small Swahili dictionary and phrase book so I can learn a little about the language. Kwa heri!
Love,
Aunt Shirley

I'm so glad you made it. We miss you terribly here, but I bet they're thrilled to have you there. Best wishes are being sent your way every day, can you feel 'em? And you thought it was the first tinge of malaria...
It is good to know you made it without incident. You are going to have a lot of adventures and we want to hear about them all. I know you are going to be really busy learning the new language and making new friends. We will be looking for news from you whenever you get a chance to post it. LOVE YOU BOTH - Alice & Thad
We miss you a great deal. Glad to know you are safely there. I am sure you are a lot warmer than us.
