It is official ... we now know which MAF project we will moving to at the beginning of 2013 ... does this flag help?!
OK ... for those of you who don't recognise the flag, the image below shows exactly where we will be based ... Dodoma, Tanzania.
It is exciting times for us right now. Mark has less than 300 hours left in the hangar and exams later on this summer. We will then have a few months for Mark to get a bit more experience in the hangar at MMS, to say our goodbyes to all the friends we have made here in Coshocton, Ohio and pack up our belongings again before our visas expire in December.
We hope to be back in the UK for Christmas. Then in the New Year of 2013 we will have the chance to catch up with as many people as possible, before a last week of training with MAF at the beginning of February. Finally, we will fly out and settle into our new home which we now know is with MAF in Dodoma, Tanzania.
We are really excited about all that is to come over the next 6 months or so (especially Jenny as she lived and taught in Dodoma from 1999-2001 ... so will be returning to somewhere that is already very special to her!) Thank you so much for all your prayers as we have been going through this process, they have meant a lot to us! Continue to remember us as we really begin this transition process ... now with a goal to aim for!
Great news :-) Karibuni sana Tanzania. Mungu awatangulie.
