A Missionary Arrives from Tanzania

Elder Lesu is the first missionary that we have received from Tanzania  since Sister Brubaker and I arrived in January.

So where is Tanzania?  Tanzania is a fairly large country in Eastern Africa. It has a long coastline on the Indian Ocean, Kenya and Uganda lie to the north. It borders the DCR Congo, Rwanda and Burundi on it’s West . To the South are Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. 

In 1964 the Nations of Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged and changed the name of their country to Tanzania. There are about 50,000,000 people in the country. Most of the population located on the Island of Zanzibar and along the coast are of Muslim background. Other areas of the country tend to be more Christian. 

Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is in northeastern Tanzania.
