Hey guys! We are doing great and loving being here in Kigali. We have finally caught up on our rest and actually slept through the night last night! Here a few highlights of our days so far in Rwanda:
Thursday Kristen and I visited the church in Kabuga. It was incredible! It was such a blessing and a joy to see how the church has grown since we were there last. Pastor Thomas is well and we were able to interview him with the help of Esron.
Friday morning we helped with the DORCAS project. We worked a little and made them laugh a lot! We also met a new friend named Michele' who has a HUGE heart for the street kids and orphans here. We also met some more Canadian Muzungus and some Mennonites from Pennsylvania. Then, Esron took us to Butare, the Educational capital of Rwanda. We visited the history museum, got to sit in the hut of a former king, and see the campus of University of Rwanda. It was great!
Today, we had the pleasure of returning to Esron's church in Remera. We saw many familiar faces and it felt like coming home! We also had the experience of winging a few bible lessons and songs. Kristen was a sheep and I played Daniel. It was quite a rush!
So you can see in the few days we have been here we have been busy! We know that the Lord has has us in his hands and is orchestrating all of these experiences! Thank you all for the continued prayers! We love you!

That sounds amazing! I can't believe how much that first church has grown!!! Mel, 'member that one time we were exhausted and we thought we were going home, but we didn't, and we went there? Man, that was such a blessing to see the woman in the front come to Christ. And remember, Kristen, when you showed me pictures and we saw the same little girl in the little blue dress? Ohhh.... the groanings of my heart... I'm sure you can here it all the way over there!
I'm sad that I'm missing church in Remera. Tell them I'm not a heathen and I'll start regularly attending again as soon as I can get there!!!
A little jealous about the educational tour!!! AHHHH!!! Oh well... next time. Right?! NEXT TIME!!!
I'm missin' you girls so much... Love you!
