We've pulled into Rwanda and are wrapping up the first day. The flights were straight-forward, 38 hours of traveling. We encountered no hiccups with customs or coming in with the visas or luggage (aside from some very squashed chips). It was great to briefly meet Ed and Deb as they leave for the States for the next few weeks. We are being graciously hosted by Grandma Dora, Samantha, Keira, Caleb and Papa and Mama JoJo.
The mission house is beautiful and the children so enthusiastic. I am in awe of the property and the potential here. The land, wow, when we first landed, I was instantly reminded of the Okanagan Valley. The warmth, the trees, the mountains, just beautiful! As we drove through the city, the exotic smells, buildings and traffic brought me back to India (and in some ways, the more recent trip to Mexico). The land is rugged and beautiful with people everywhere. You see houses that rival some of the top homes in Lethbridge and tiny, pieced-together dwellings hoping to provide some sort of shelter for a family.
I guess what strikes me as amazing is just the fact we are in AFRICA! God is so Good!!!
Please keep us in prayer as we seek out wisdom for what God wants us to see.
Sadly, I can't post any pictures yet, but I will as soon as possible.
Thank you and goodbye for tonight from Rwanda!
