Like Stephen and his pastor (pictured above). I was recently in Tanzania for two and a half weeks consulting with our missionaries who are doing culture \/ language acquisition.

I was able to help them see what activities are best suited to their ability to participate in life that\u2019s going on around them. I love to see these self-sacrificing ambassadors with a fresh excitement and tools to do their ministries more effectively. I love my job! It does have its challenges, like taking a 15 hour bus ride without hearing a word of English. Keep in mind that I haven\u2019t had the luxury of studying Kiswahili. As I was leaving Tanzania to come back to Mozambique I found myself strapping my suitcase to the back of a motorcycle taxi.
