ERDMANS IN AFRICA
We have been completely flabbergasted by the massive response we have received on Facebook from our ‘Likes’ drive and The Big Announcement video posted last Friday. At the time of this writing, our page has been liked 556 times, the video has been shared 73 times and viewed 3,266 times! I know many of you […]
I just want to share my story, that is my experience as a white American living as a minority in Tanzania. Not for one second am I equating my short and volitional stint as a minority to a lifetime of oppression. I do wish that everyone could experience some of what we have been able […]
I am so excited to be posting a blog within one month of my last one! That is a definite improvement in my record. The month of April was very busy and included a wonderful and much-needed visit from my parents. I had not seen my dad in 15 months and I was missing him […]
Were you wondering if we had fallen of the edge of the earth? Or maybe taken a long hike out to Maasai land never to be seen or heard from again? Well, it is nothing that glamorous. We are just busy plugging away at every day life. Everything is actually going exceptionally well here in […]

I meant to thank everyone, and let you know how things were going sooner, but those things kept changing. Sorry to be dramatic and then keep everyone in suspense. Many thoughts have been going through my mind the last week. So here goes. Thank you everyone for your kind responses! They have been meaningful to […]
I’ll get to the first point of the title in a bit. The second part simply means, this is Matt. Kelly recently joked, but seriously, about making some sense of our relationship after “almost ten years of marriage”. Life will teach you some things, if you are participating. Kelly and I have a cycle we […]
I am sitting in the office at Neema House, hearing the getting-ready-for-nap pandemonium take place right outside the fabric partition that serves to pseudo-seclude me from the crowd of sleepy toddlers. A few minutes ago I led a grieving family on a tour of Neema House. Their wife/daughter/sister died four days ago, giving birth to […]
