Day 2: Legho Village

Prior to starting our hike up Kilimanjaro, we’ve spent the past 2 days immersing ourselves in the local culture of Tanzania. First we visited Lovett (Atlanta) alums Wade and Megan Morris at the international school of Moshii. As they showed us around we were all blessed by the Morris’s passion for education and life. Following our tour we had lunch at a favorite Moshii restaurant “Jacks Fruit”. Then we headed to Legho village where we enjoyed the hospitality of our host, Pastor Deo. After a walk to a beautiful vista overlooking the border between Tanzania and Kenya, we spent the evening telling our stories of how we all came to be sharing this pilgrimage experience. This morning Pastor Deo delivered a powerful message using the metaphor of the coffee bean as it relates to the challenges we face in our lives. All this is leading us to our ultimate challenge: Kilimanjaro. We begin tomorrow.
