And We Have Touch Down

It’s been a week since we’ve arrived in Mbeya. And we are so, so, so thankful. Although we’re ‘home’ in terms of place we’re still in search of a ‘home’ as in a house. For now, we have been graciously put up by our friends Camilla and Netta. 

Since arriving I (Toby) have already been into the office and oriented to what our work will look like. It is odd to start work right at the cusp of Christmas – many people are on holidays already, but I’m thankful to be able to get into the swing of things as soon as possible. 

We’re also thankful for so many things we’d never thought we would be thankful for. Like washing the dishes (this one may get old soon), like making a grilled cheese sandwich, like putting clothes into drawers. I guess it’s what happens when you live out of a suitcase for months on end. 

We’re also thankful for backyards!
