Life is Good and Request
May 22, 2008 by Stephen Day.
Greeting brothers and sisters!
I hope that all of you are doing well. Life is going very well here. I have been very busy teaching for several weeks and so busy that I have not had a chance to blog in a while. I am really enjoying teaching. The two Church History courses I am teaching are progressing nicely. The class on the Reformation is finally now at the Reformation (I had to catch up the students to the Great Schism, the Crusades, and the Middle Ages). My class on Modern Church History has finally reached the 20th century. I know understand why so many of my history classes never finished all the material we were supposed to cover — history is big!!!
There are now two and a half weeks of teaching left. I have a lot to cover in this time period. After that we have a reading week and then an exam week. Following the exam week I will have a special visitor. My father will be arriving in Dar es Salaam on June 26th. We will come back to Dodoma for a few days and then we will go on safari at Ruaha game park.
In early July I will be setting up a new server for Msalato that will be used to create an email system here that lives off the internet (saving our precious bandwidth) and backs up the main server (to protect from human and software error). This server will be purchased in parts from the US and paid for by donations from the great people of the Diocese of West Virginia. This purchase will use up the last of the extra money donated in support of the work I am doing here. So I would appreciate it if all of you could prayerfully consider donating more. You can send checks to the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia, PO Box 5400, Charleston, WV, 25361. Be sure to put “Stephen Day - Tanzania” in the memo line.
In other news, I have scheduled a return date to the United States. I will be leaving Dar es Salaam on December 12, 2008 and return to the US on December 22. Where will I be in the interim? I am going to spend a week in Europe with my mother. This is going to be a wonderful birthday and Christmas present. I have never been to Europe and look forward to spending a few days in Paris and London. I look forward to being back in the USA once again.
Well, I just wanted to share these bits of news with you. I pray that all of you are doing well. Please keep Ed, a family friend in your prayers.
-Stephen
