Annoucements and Graduations

This weekend at church I enjoyed giving an announcement about the children's ministry in Kinyarwanda! I tried to memorize it in one night, but I ended up having to sort of read part of it. However, I still have parts of it running through my head. "yesu Ashimwe! Mfite intangzo nshaka kubagezaho ryere keranye na ministeri y'abana." That pharse will probably be stuck with me for the rest of my life! It was really fun to be in front of the church and try to communicate in Kinyarwanda.

Also, yesterday we had a little graduation for the Kindergartners! It was fun to ahev them sing Our God is an Awesome God, in both English and Kinyarwanda, and I am a Promise. Then I read Oh the Places You'll Go (which, it is fun to think about all teh places these little ones will go!! They have already been and come from ALL over the world and I know they will continue to spread out all over the world.) and they threw their little graduation caps made of paper bowls and construction paper...and everyone was happy. We have two more weeks of school, but I have one that will be leaving to go back to Japan tomorrow...so we wanted to have our celebration early!

There's a few happenings from the life of Alyssa!

Oh so fun! I think that Kindergarten graduations are one of the cutest things ever. Only two weeks of teaching left - ahhhh! :)

I love the picture in my mind of you making the announcement in church. How neat that you worked so hard on it.
