Beginning the Day with Breakfast 

-
The Travelers arrived in Kilimanjaro airport on schedule after 24+ hours in airports and airplanes.

We met Bashiri, the driver who will be our guide and companion through the trip, once we had our visas and luggage. By 10:30 PM we were at our hotel in Arusha. After devotions and prayers we went to bed.

When we gathered for breakfast we were treated to a wonderful meal of fruit, eggs and tea.

 We were grateful to have such a delicious, healthy meal to start the day.  After a pretty good night's sleep for each of us (somewhat longer for Pastor Glenn than for the rest of us ...) we headed out into the day.  More later!

Of the five Travelers, only Mark had previous experience with the school, and he told us later that he was very concerned about what we would find.  In yet another example of the Suprising Blessings we had on this trip, we found the Hull School very, very healthy and vibrant -- and asking for help because of how much it has grown. A bit of history.  Many years ago, when the school was a school for girls, Mount Olive had had a strong relationship with the school.  It housed around 30 girls, and Mount Olive members paid for the construction of the Dining Hall (among other things.)  Here is that Dining Hall. The school hit hard times, the relationship with Mount Olive was broken for a while, and several years ago, the school found itself with only nine students. The headmaster of the school
