More Tanzania Pictures From Kiki and Katie

These are more pictures are from Kierstin and Katie's time in Tanzania when they went to the refugee camp. The girls were there for a week. The last day they were there, 6 or 7 churches inside the refugee camp of 40,000 people got together and each church had a part in the goodbye celebration to thank the team from America (from Bakersfield and Fresno!!!)

The girls said it was awesome to see these churches perform and worship together...thanking God for sending the team.

I love these pictures showing how many people gathered for this celebration. Over 1,000 people were there for the send off. The team felt loved and appreciated. This may have been the best way the African people could have expressed their appreciation.

The girls said sad goodbyes and got back on a bus for the 10 hour 'dirt/pothole ride' back to Mwanza, Tanzania where they caught a plane to Kenya. Kiki said "the bus ride was like dancing, we were out of our seat more than we were in it".

This picture shows you the huge group that assembled for the send off.

I love the color of the adult folks dress. You should see Katie and Kiki's outfits that they had made for them....they would fit right into this crowd!

Next time you see them you need to insist that they wear their African clothes to show off. They said they will wait for people to ask but that they would be more than happy to put on their African 3-piece dress suits.
