“Amster… Amster… DAM… DAM… DAM”

October 5, 2007 by Stephen Day.

First, I figure I should explain the title of this post.  At the church camp I worked at and attended in West Virginia one of the songs that we sang before going into meals involved the name of the city I am in right now.  Invariably the song would conclude by empathizing the last syllable of this city’s name.

Anyway…

Right now I am sitting in the Amsterdam airport waiting for my flight to Dar Es Salaam.  It is 8:15 Friday morning (Amsterdam time).  I got up at 8:00 am (Eastern time) on Thursday.  The flight from Charleston to Detroit was uneventful.  The flight from Detroit to Amsterdam certainly felt long…. I am very ready to get into a hotel room, shower, and sleep. 

I am really excited to get to Tanzania.  I am ready to meet the people there and get to work.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me and my family.  Also, I would like to lift up in prayer two family friends – Ruth and Ed.  Please remember them in your prayers.

I look forward to sharing this experience with all of you during this coming year.  Have a great day!
