reetings from Tanzania! With joy I want to share with you some good news. I asked Kari Hartwig to marry me on Jan.1 and she agreed. We plan to be married in Arusha on June 30th of this year. Kari teaches public health at Yale. She has many connections to Tanzania, one being that she was born here. Her parents taught at a Lutheran secondary school in Arusha. She also has done some of her research on HIV AIDS in Tanzania. Her Mom, Shoonie Hartwig, was a missionary to TZ and continues to work for the Mwangaza Center of the Lutheran Church. Christopher Hartwig, Kari’s brother, works as a medical doctor in Tanzania coordinating a hospice program for the Lutheran Church.
Kari and I have much in common and have really connected. She is a lovely woman and I am thankful to God for this blessing and pray that He will continue to bless us as we go ahead with plans for our marriage. We are hoping that we will be able to live and work in Tanzania. These arrangements are being worked out but there are many issues still up in the air. All we are sure of at this time is that we want to marry and be together. We are leaving the rest in God’s hands.
I ask for your prayers as we move ahead with our plans.
May the Lord bless you
Peace
Dennis Murnyak
