Our second day at the nursery school went much better than the first. We were very prepared. Yesterday was very full. After the nursery school, we went to Kabuga to see and new ministry that is being started to help the women of the church and the community. We both cried. The women sat in their church made of mud and made traditional Rwandan baskets out of feed sacks and straw. And they sang praises to the Lord the whole time they were working. It blessed us sooooo much. There were also a couple guys making a hat out of banana leaves. We wanted to buy it, but it wasn't finished.
Then last evening we took Esron and Immanuel out to pizza and talked about the problems of hazing in colleges today. We had many laughs and enjoyed good pizza and fellowship.
Today is a National holiday in Rwanda so everything is closed down, so we are taking the day off to catch up on some much needed rest. We hope that you all are enjoying the 4th at home! Happy Independance Day! Love you all, Mel and Kristina
BTW...changing the pronuciation and emphasis on the syllables of an English word does not make it French!!!

Nursery School...African Style!
Muraho! Amakuru? We hope everyone is doing great today! We had a wonderful morning at the Remera Nursery School. We sang, we danced, we taught a Bible lesson, English alphabet, shapes and basically made them laugh at us! It was in my opinion the most exciting morning so far. (Kristina agrees) We again learned the art of "winging it". Good times all around! We look forward to the same tomorrow and a visit with 2 Precious Paidion boys and another trip to Kabuga to visit Pastor Thomas' church.
We have new Muzugu neighbors at the Ligue from the UK, they are very nice and have fun accents. We feel as if we make new friends around every corner. Something about Africa does that to you! Please continue to pray for the week Kristen and I have ahead. We feel as if we have A LOT of work to do and not enough time to do it! But we also know it is all in the Creator's hands! Also..a praise...Kristen and I have stayed remarkably healthy so far...everything is working properly. You vets know what we mean! Thank you for all the prayers, we love you all!
