GoodByes,'whyare theyalwaysso difficult? Beforewe can sayhel
to our new country of Tanzania, Boband Rachel journeyed once more to
ouroldcountryand friend,Zaire. Bob went to closeout our workand say
our
formal Good
Byes'andRachel accompanied him,spendingmostofhe
time at Toddle Inn working with orphans. But she, too, said her Good
Byes.
Closing meant dosing our house and personal effects and it also
meant closing out work and work-related effects.
All
personal Items we
could dispose of as we wished, by sale or by bringing things back to the
States. Bob brought back irreplaceable family photos, a collection o
books,some
videos
and some precious Christmas ornaments.
Everything
else was sold. Work FundsPersonal use are any items purchased with
Work Funds for specificuse bythe missionary. ThisIncludes furniture and
appliances. Because these things were purchased with Work Funds, we
had to receive permission from the Mission and Churchcommunity as to
how we could dispose of them. Wewere given permission to sell them al
and use the funds for setting up inTanzania. In Service Related, we had
two items - a freezer and a threewheeler both of which we received
specifically for Dawn'sSupport Service. We receivedpermission to sellthe
three-wheeler and our freezer was transferred to the ladywho is now
handlingthe support work. Bobfelt that, through allthe work of sorting
and selling, he had from everyone the greatest amount of cooperation
possible. This made hiswork pleasant and easy.
Closing was saying Good Bye to many people - people who are
considered friendsand family. Bob met withACM s
Legal
Representative
Mundyo Mwenywiusiba, explaining to him how we came to our decision
to change

We

Paris. We came out of the subway at the

down the Champs Elysee. Fromthere we could see the Eiffel Tower and
crossing the Seine River, we wandered through neighborhoods untilw
found it. Jammed against the windowof the crowded elevatorwe climbe
to the very

Bobwas able to chart our way back to the Arc.

ARRIVING
IN
TANZANIA
After a longfurlough, we were alllooking forward to
getting back to Africa. Dares Salaam welcomed us in
grand style. It was so hot we started dripping before we
even
got
off of
the
concourse. Our immediate plan
was
to claimour 30 pieces of luggage and get it outside and
into the vehicle waiting to take us to the guesthouse.
Every last piece of baggage was there waiting for us as
was our rideto town. Wewere expecting to be picked up
by the Southern Baptist Mission in Dar I ll use this
shortened form of Dar esSalaam for the rest of the letter).
While Bobpiledthe bags inone spot, Joshua stood guard
over itand Dawnwentout into the airport to findour ride.
This accomplished, Bob
go t
the attention of one of the
ladies that
worked
in Customs,
introduced
us as mission
aries, and
showed
her
the
itemized listfor our luggage.
She escorted Bob to the
head
of
the
Immigration Office.
On the way she told him to
get
ready to give this man a
gift
and
Bob knew from our experiences inZairewhat to
do. He asked her what kind of gift she meant, and the
lady becamevery vague and dropped the subject. After
welcoming Bobto a seat, the officialbegan going through
our list. All the time Bobwas in the office there was a
man in the corner completely changing his clothes.) As
the officialtickedoff each itemwe would have to payduty

were allowed to bring personal belongings infor the first
sixmonths duty-free. Hemumbled around for about ten
minutes and then let us go without paying a dime. God
had taken our biggest concern and smoothed it out
perfectly At this point, our driver strongly suggested we

agreed to keep track of itfor us, so we took
God's answer and moved to Morogoro. n order to get
there, we had to rent a 21-passengerbus fromAviswhich
we filledup with luggage. We arrived safe and sound on
a shockingly good road. Parts of it even had yellowand
white
lines.
Through this we learned a lesson. We were sec
onded to Team Expansion mostly because of our experi
ence. We
were

team,
these families, to help
them, as new missionaries, with that experience. During
that firstweek Ifelt likeI had no experience at all. Itwas
the new missionaries who found us the place to live.

had the experience
that
counts. That's the Church. We
are all put in it for a purpose, each with his or her
own
treasures to share. Noone has too much experience not
to receive a blessing from what others have.
JOSHUA
IS
HOME
Coming back to Africa,for Joshua, was coming back
home Still hewas a littleapprehensive. Hewas worried
that he might have lost a lot of his Swahili. While yet in
the States would start conversations in
Swahili
wit h u s
so he could practice which made us practice, too. During
our
week
in Dar-es-Salaam he talked to everyone - the
worker at the guesthouse, the men that worked across
the street from where we were staying, and every cab
driver
that
we met. Sometimes, inthe course of the day's
work. Dawn and Joshua would go one way, and Bob
would go another. Naturally,
we
would all
meet
and talk
with different cab drivers. One day, when Bob was out
alone, heflagged down a taxiand headed offwitha driver
he had never met before. (Remember, that this is a city
of
millions
of people and many, manytaxis.) After a short
conversation
with
this taxi driver, he
looked at
Bob
and
said.

It was August, the Baird/Shew wedding was over

At this time we receiveda message from our doctor
saying that there was something suspicious in a
mammogram that Dawn had had done while we were
home for the wedding. Since the
availability
of good
medicalequipment or doctors isalmost
nil
here inTanza
nia, we made a quick decision for Dawn to go home to
have this taken care of properly. Becauseof the situation
of
living
inthe
Sayari
Hotelwe decided to have
Elizabeth
go with her. We were
really
perplexed about this
happening. Why,when we had just started to build did
this have to happen with Dawn?
InlateOctober Dawnhad a benign cystremoved. All
of the expenses for flights to and from Tanzania were
taken care of by you, our supporters. While Dawn was
home sh e was able
to
talk face to face with both
individuals and mission committeeswho
were
interested
