Update

Hi everyone,

Just a quite msg to let you know what we've been up to since we last wrote.

Friday - In the evening we were invited to a tanzanian disco, which we were
all intrigued about, was very much like discos at home, however they had
covered the lights in toilet paper,so as to set the mood.
John, mandy, jenny and trevor all had a go at some of the dancing, but over
all john was the star turn, getting very involved in a boys dance.

Saturday - In the morning the group split into two, with some of us learning
how to cook a traditional tanzanian meal, consisting of ugali and mlenda,
which we all sampled for lunch.
The other group had a go at brickmaking, which was a lot of fun, but hard
work at the same time.
Mid afternoon, we visited a church in mvumi, where four separate choirs sang
for us and where then shown the foundations of the new church they are
building, in which they hope to grow the church to four hundred people.
Mandy joined in dancing with the mothers union choir, while mollie became
their chief whistle blower, which they loved.

Sunday - Today we went to Msamaria mwema (good samaritain) church, where
peter and alison worship. Again like the church we visited yesterday, three
different choirs sang, one being a childrens choir. We were also asked to
introduce ourselves and sing a couple of our songs to the church, those
being ' we are marching ' and ' i'm gonna zoom', great songs with actions,
that most people joined in with.
Before and after church we were invited to the pastor's house for breakfast
and lunch, where we were treated to two amazing meals all homemade.

We move to dodoma on tuesday, so will hopefully email and update you again
soon.
