I have a cell phone!

Thanks to Fareena’s parent’s I actually have a phone while in Dar. Thanks be to God! It gives me opportunity to stay in touch with some of the people here that I’m meeting as well as call home every once and a while. To talk to my parents it costs about $5 for 12 minutes. But international calls are free for me to receive! So if you ever get the desire to talk with me feel free to give me a call at 255717399653. Just keep in mind that I’m 9 hours ahead of you, so please plan accordingly. Also, Fareena mentioned that you can use certain programs such as www.net2phone.com where you can call internationally from your computer, offering slightly better rates than what you would get from a phone card. Please consider placing a call, though. It would mean a lot to me to hear a familiar voice on my Tanzanian cell phone.

I pray that all is well with you.
