Karibu

Karibu
We welcome you.
Karibu
Mzungu.
These words are sweet upon our ears,
And lie within our hearts.
We thank you for the love
They impart.
Asante sana
Asante sana.

Note:  Here is a short song I started singing as I was playing banjo one day.  I am so thankful for our new friends here in Nyakato Bible School Compound.  God is so kind to allow us to meet these believers, and have the time to get to know them.  I am so thankful.  Karibu means welcome, mzungu is a white person, asante sana means thank you very much.  These are Swahili words and greetings.  Most Tanzanians say Karibu when we meet them.  Being here is a wonderful birthday present as today is my birthday. I thank the Lord for this gift of our Tanzanian friends which he has so graciously extended to our family.
