There's No Place Like Home!

And right now that is Joel and Annie's house in Kigali, Rwanda!!

We moved back into our house a few days ago...and it really is so good to be home. It is raining quite a bit here, so they could not start on our roof. But we are just glad to be home!

In other news...I took my students on their first field trip!! We went with the first graders to Living Water International, a Christian organization helping to build wells for people. It was quite the site to see all my little ones trying to pump water for the first time! It was neat to talk to them about the fact that some kids even their age spend their days carrying water back and forth instead of going to school. It was fun and a good experience for all.

One of my students came in yesterday and just exclaimed, "But, Miss Holladay, I KNOW how to Read!!" He was so excited and it did my heart good.

My internet card is still broken...soo I am just waiting for new cards to come into the country! Who knows when that will be :-(

I am still loving being at the church. We talk about fairly consistently now about how next year it will be exciting for me to be there and not have to give so much time to teaching...you can still be praying for the children's ministry, for volunteers, and for the church building that is in the works (we have just finished paying off the land! Now we are looking at the next steps...)

Hope you are all well :-)
