Our epic journey has begun. Today we travelled by landrover the 160km South to the nearest railway station at Makambako. This town is on the central plateau of East Africa, so during the night, while we slumber here in our guest house, the train will be labouring up the escarpment to find us at around 8am tomorrow. It left Dar es Salaam mid afternoon, and will arrive in Zambia around two days later.
Today we visited our good friends Bishop Donald and Gladys Mtetemela, who are more busy now after having retired from their work in the Diocese of Ruaha. It was sad to say goodbye, but wonderful to share such deep fellowship and understanding in the Lord. We shared lots of good memories together. The present Bishop, Joseph Mgomi travelled from Dodoma this morning, and we waited in Iringa for him to arrive so as to say goodbye. A sad and profound parting.
