Mpanda, Tanzania

Today we flew from Dar es Salaam to Sumbawanga (with a pit stop in Mbeya) on a Cessna 208B “Grand Caravan” operated by the Missionary Aviation Fellowship. In Sumbawanga I met Pr. Laban for the first time and also our driver, Bukuku. Tomorrow we travel again all day with destination of Kigoma; Saturday, June 11, we preach our first meetings in Karago. Five days of travel before we get to preach!

Historic Note: Kigoma is the site of the famous encounter between Stanley and Livingstone in which Stanley purportedly exclaimed, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume.”
