no matter how incredible this trip has been, it is hard for us all to not miss home and the people we love. so, with that said, our bags are packed and we leave pretty soon...somewhat shocked at how quickly time passed.
we finished up teaching last friday and a great time celebrating the end with our adult students who showed us how thankful they were. it was amazing to see and such a blessing. we all were exhausted and knowing they actually learned something shows the wonderful provision and grace of God! after that, we had a crazy adventure when we started walking home. we got caught in the biggest storm and by the end we were soaked to the bone. needless to say, trudging up the hill was fun for a little and then just hard...but we eventually made it.
the last few days we have been taking it easy and just appreciating time to relax and sightsee a bit in kigali. we traveled by bus to a sister church in rhungeri on sunday, visited the genocide memorial monday, relaxed and ate at jean's house on tuesday, and went to two soccer games yesterday. the games were insne and we absolutely loved celebrating rwanda's goals with thousands of people packed into the stadium. paul kagame, the president, was event there. we ended our night at a beautiful italian restaurant overlooking the city. exhausted, but grateful for a funfilled day and everyone being safe for the whole trip, we fell into bed and woke up to pack.
today, we leave at 2:45 for nairobi and then from there continue to london then LAX. we get in on friday at about 2:30 pm. cant wait!
more soon...when we are at home!!
so much love,
liz and the team
