Greetings from Tanzania!

To the team’s delight, the campsite provided us with an African style dinner, real beds, and western style toilets! We woke up early the next morning to begin the drive to Ngorongoro Crater, which is actually a caldera, a volcano which collapsed in on itself and formed a separated safe haven for gazelles, zebras, water buffaloes, lions, a small leopard, servals, rhinos, wildebeests, ostriches, cranes, elephants, warthogs, hyenas, and hippos, all of which we saw.

As a result of the influx of animals we saw, we returned to the camp for dinner later, and didn’t get back to the Teen Missions base until 11 p.m. We all went immediately to bed, and we are now quite well-rested and preparing to spend the day in Moshi shopping for souvenirs! Please continue to pray for us as we get ready to leave Tanzania, our flights back to the United States, and that we are able to remain united as our time comes to an end.
