About two weeks ago on April 24th Megan and I got the opportunity to visit and eat at an African restaurant downtown Minneapolis called Tam Tam's African Restaurant. I was able to get a glimpse of the menu online before we went and I will be honest with you, I was a bit nervous. It just so happened that they were serving a buffet for lunch. So, we thought the buffet would be the best way to go, since we would get to taste a little of everything. The experience was great for us. I can't say that I really disliked any of the food. It was definitely different, but very good. The owner and the only waiter at the time we came into the restaurant happened to over here us talking about the trip and told us that he was actually from Uganda. The rest of the time was spent sharing our mission with him and taking in all the advice he had to offer us about Africa. He asked if we would come back after our trip and tell him all about it and bring lots of pictures to show him. That's exactly what we plan on doing when we get back! If any of you are interested in checking out Tam's Tam's I encourage you to do so! You can check the restaurant out at: www.tamtamsrestaurant.com. It was truly a blessing getting to meet this man. He had so many good things to say about Uganda. I find myself getting a little more nervous, well I should say anxious, because I am excited yet I get more and more nervous as the date gets closer. However, there is no doubt in my mind that God is going to make this a life changing experience that I will never forget. Please continue to keeps us in your prayers and thank you agian for all your wonderful support!

God Bless,

Hello to all our lovely family & friends!

Amani Baby Cottage, where we're staying in Africa, has wireless internet so, we thought it would be a great idea for us to set up a blog website so that you guys could keep track of all that we're doing while we're there. As the date gets closer we continue to get more and more excited each day and are even more excited to share our journey with you. We want to truly and sincerely thank you all very much for supporting us financially and through prayer! It means so much to us! Also, just a heads up that we will try our best to stay active and update you on the pre trip details and emotions, but be sure to check up on us while we're over in Africa and feel free to send us some love and encouragement too. We have already received so much encouragement and it has just been a blessing! Thank you!

God Bless,

Megan & Melanie
