13 days in...

So, we are all a bit tired and worn out but, the Lord has blessed us with team unity and some really great encouragements. Right now, I am writing this in some new friends of ours' home. The Bennetts have been so wonderful to our team. Tonight, they have invited us over for supper and to celebrate our amazing Mckenna's birthday!! She is 20 today! If you remember, wish her a happy birthday. I know that it is hard to be away from loved ones on a birthday but, she is such a joy all the time and we hope to make this day special for her.

Recently, a few members of our team were sick. Kenna, Sarah and Adam were all pretty sick last week but, the Lord has healed them and they all were back teaching today. I am so happy that they were able to get well with a bit of nurturing and rest. Thank you to those who were praying for them.

Sorry that these posts are not as frequent as we had hoped. The internet was so bad it couldnt load the blog before the connection was interrupted.

Yesterday we went to Puers' church. I dont think that is how you spell his name but, oh well. He is the nicest man and made us feel so welcome at his church. He translated for us on more than one occasion how welcome we were and how glad they were we could join them. At the end of the service they pulled us up to dance! Haha, that was a lot of fun. Especially to see some of the reactions. Everyone on the team takes new experiences so well. They are awesome.

The past couple of days we have gone without rain but, the skies are getting cloudy as I type. And this is the dry season!! I love it and I know the Oregonian, Amanda, is reminded of home!

We met some Austrailian girls who are staying at the African Evangelical Enterprise guesthouse with us. Yesterday, the girls and our team took taxis and motorbikes a little craft village to look at some Rwandan souvenier shops. The motorbikes were awesome. It was breathtaking to be sped around the city and winding hills on the back of a motorbike taxi. All of the girls on the team braved it and took a trip on one. We all had a great time.

This is our last week of school, so please be praying for renewed energy, continued team unity and a lasting love for the people. Oh, and that our bodies are able to fight sickness. Thank you for your prayers and know we miss you.

Lots of love,
Liz and the team
