The traveling went incredibly smooth. I was amazed how the younger ones settled into the pace at the airport and enjoyed their plane rides. When we arrived in Rwanda, we were tired, but functioning. A delay came when we discovered a crate missing. Kim has been back to the airport to file a claim and we remain cautiously optimistic.
The next day, we headed into the city to start the missionary visa application. There has been some hiccups, so please pray that everything comes together quickly.
When we arrived back at the home, our kids quickly connected with the children here, especially Joel and Ethan. They immediately made some new friends and it's been hard to keep him here at the house.
The teens have been doing well, too. The uprooting was much more shocking for them, when they had to go from regularly connecting to friends to sketchy Internet.
Despite the drastic chances, we know God as a plan and we are in good hands. The worries of the missing luggage, visas and all that needs be learned pales in comparison to what can do (and has done).
On a side note, Nathan was ecstatic to find a keyboard at the church!
I have to sign off, the chorus outside and a bit of jet leg are lulling me to sleep. Please pray for:
Paperwork for visas, that we would have favour
Missing luggage, that it would somehow be returned
Clear understanding as we work with the former director and gain an understanding of everything
Thank you for your prayers and goodnight from Rwanda!
