Back in Portland

After about 24 hours in the air (about 40 hours when layovers are included), we're back home in Portland. The trip went smoothly in every way, but we're just a little frazzled after the time change (Tanzania is 10 hours in advance of Portland time) and the long hours aloft. The vast weather change doesn't help. In Dar es Salaam, where we stayed two days before leaving, the temperature was a muggy 35 degrees C. As we descended to PDX last night, snow streamed past the landing lights. On the ground, it's just cold and wet.

I'll be adding new posts about the final days of our stay in Dodoma and Dar-es-Salaam. It will be great fun telling you about our new sponsor child, Charles, whom we met on Tuesday. You'll love the photos of him. I'll also add a story and photos of Annette at work with her quilting ladies.

Thanks much for your interest, prayers, and encouragement.
