For several months we have anxiously anticipated a visit from Jerry Hale (founder of Omega Mission) and Charles Rateliff of Arkansas. The purpose of this visit was for Jerry to visit some of Omega projects with which we have been associated since Omega's inception in 2005.
Ed and I drove separately so we could deliver a friend's car to him in Katesh. The route we took is a 9 hour drive to Arusha where we were to meet Jerry and Charles. There are two 2 1/2 hour stretches of paved road at the beginning and end of the trip.
I guess Ed wanted to make good use of the time on pavement and got a little overzealous. Yes, that's him on the right getting "written up" and making a contribution to the police force of the Dodoma Region.
They wouldn't take a Bible this time.

The road we traveled is under construction with plans for eventual paving and is heavily traveled by large trucks. When the road narrowed down, passing through Manyone, it was a little congested and sometimes a tight squeeze.
Some trucks were a little tall and this helpful young man held up the electrical lines for the trucks to pass under. Guess the electricity was off on this day.
We finally made it to roads not so frequently traveled by the larger vehicles, but even those roads presented a different set of obstacles.
Eventually, we arrived in Arusha and retrieved our visitors from the airport late that night.
