Ramblings

I am going to try to blog more often, even if I don't feel like I have something really important to say. For many different reasons...partly because I just want to, partly because I think it is a good idea, and partly because I want to keep blogging more even while I am in the States for those in Rwanda that won't be with me! While I am definitely looking forward to being home this summer (a wedding to be in, a niece to be born, many exciting things!!), it is already feeling weird that I will be leaving this place in a month. I cannot imagine if I was leaving and not coming back. I am so grateful for God's clear leading that he still wants me here next year. Of course, the details of next year are slightly fuzzy, but that really doesn't worry me. Each day that passes just makes me more certain that I am supposed to be here next year.

The Kindergarteners and First Graders all went on a Field Trip today! We went to Cards from Africa and saw orphans who were being employed to design and make cards from recycled paper. The kids enjoyed touching the pulp and seeing how these people make the cards! (Well, they also enjoyed BUYING the cards quite a bit :-)

Other than that, life has been pretty normal...I am still working on my Kinyarwanda although sometimes it is pretty slow...It is helpful being in a house with a baby who is just learning to speak! Sometimes I feel like every word she is learning, I am too!!

Well, hopefully more frequent blogging will not always lead to just ramblings that aren't that enjoyable to read!
