An intense weekend near Musoma

If you are interested in reading a story about some events that happened this past weekend, the links below will take you to two articles on another person's blog. I don't know the family, but it seems that they are missionaries in Mwanza, the big city several hours south of Musoma. The wonderful Australians they mention are friends of ours, and they most certainly are great folks, so it was fun to see them in a starring role.

A harrowing tale of God's grace in the midst of tragedy on the road traveling from Musoma:

And the tale of some very near and dear friends of ours, who happened to be having a harrowing experience of their own in the same little town at the same time:

These stories nearly brought me to tears, as I can easily picture these scenes and know that this could have been us on any one of our many trips on that road. We have traveled that route by both our own car, like in the first link, and by bus, as in the second one. Please pray for the Mongers and Walkers, as neither has fully come out of these dark valleys. Praise God that the Archers were in town that weekend and available and willing to serve!
