Hey all!!
First off, I just want to say thank you to all who are praying for me/us, I have felt the touch of your prayer daily and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't want to know what would happen!!!
On Monday we went back to the capital city (Kigali) to go to the Genocide Memorial and meet up with a missionary the guys know here. As I walked through the memorial my eyes were opened to just how much the people here suffered! I saw a few local women who were walking through and tears streaming down their faces, It was so sad. As you walk outside you can see many different concrete slabs, we were told not to walk on them as they were all mass graves of many who died in the genocide... I just felt like crying, we are soo lucky in Canada!!
I also got a chance to walk around and look at some of the shops where we can buy souvenirs, and purchased something really cool that I won't say because it's a surprise for Andrew!!! :0
Today (Tuesday) we spent most of the day praying, we went into the village of Gahini (which is just up the hill from us) and as we walked through we prayed for the people, and the land(which by the way is rich RED soil and is beautiful) we walked down by the lake and prayed at each location that the camp will be held at, and we also prayed for each other. it was such a good day!!!
Well camp starts tomorrow!!! Drama, Sports, Chapel, Swimming Lessons ( alot of African children are afraid of water) and crafts!!! I am looking forward to staring the camps and getting more confident about that part. I will be teaching Drama for this week!
Being here is so amazing!! I feel like I have already learned so much from these people, but I know God has MUCH more coming.... I miss Andrew ALOT, it is defiantly hard to be away so long and so far away.
Gotta go but God bless you all!!
Lots of love!!
