Back from Tanzania

I got back to American soil on Friday night. We landed safely in Atlanta and were greeted by storms of lightning and rain as we drove back to Birmingham and then to Tuscaloosa. It was quite a trip and a wonderful experience. I'll be posting pictures and different stories throughout the week from my time in Dar es Salaam.

For now, I ask that you keep my family in your prayers: Aunt Cathy, my mom's sister, has been in the hospital for several days, surviving through three surgeries, failing kidneys, and decaying muscles. I didn't realize as I got back to the States how bleak things have been over the past few days. You can read updates at thespiveys.org if you'd like. Thank you for your prayers.
