Friday was a quiet day with a dinner out with the Jee family who took them to Denny's family restaurant followed by 10-pin bowling. We understand John was the winner twice over and wants to play more!
Saturday was the last parish event with St Stephen's on this trip. We had a picnic together at church and then gathered in the chapel to give thanks, say goodbye and bless them on their way.
It has only been 2 weeks but there were several people who teared up on saying goodbye - such has been the impact of John and Tito's visit to us. We hoped "to deepen our relationship" - clearly that has happened and it is very good.
Tito said, "Kariboni (welcome) to Kondoa." We say in return, "Kariboni back to New Zealand."
