When was the last time you held a python?

I know that Kelcy has already updated you on our recent activity concerning the museum, but in order for everyone to truly believe it, check out the pictures below.

Kelcy handled herself pretty well, not freaking out.

I could barely touch the thing. Gross. But I did, because I obviously wanted the picture.

Brian and the snake charmer were apparently best friends according to the picture. The dance group behind them just kept on dancing like a snake was no big deal. 

The picture above is Geita Town. We took a tour this morning and had a time of prayer for 5 main things:

1. The Gold mine- The people here in Geita are affected by the mine every day. The financial support it brings to the people here is certainly a good thing, but we learned and will continue to learn about the evil that can be produced through wealth.
2. Prostitution- Because of the gold mine's added wealth to the community, much is spet on on prostitution, drugs, and alcohol.
3. Churches- There are several churches in Geita town, some which are doing good work, other which are exploiting the hope that churches provide to people. 
4. The marginalized- there are many here in Geita, in fact all over the world, that are lost in the mess of everything that is going on. Part of the work our team here in Geita will eventually be to help children who can't be taken care of by their family, and eventually help street kids as well. 
5. Community- Community here is incredibly important to the people of Tanzania. When people leave their village or families to pursue good fortune in the city, that community is broken. Community is vital to Tanzanians, and part of our prayer was that our team would also find community together 

That is all for now. Tomorrow we are headed to the village for church, and every day this week we will be getting a tast for the various ministries that Team Geita is involved in.
