It's a bit easier to upload pictures on such a FAST internet connection, so here are a few pictures of my first 24 hours in the States!
Momma, Daddy, and Luke gave me a great welcome at the airport.
Sitting in "my room" in the States...my room hasn't changed much since I was about 6 years old! I did forget about all the great books I had from college and clothes I had left here, so that was pretty exciting.
First thing in the morning (after a great breakfast from my mom!) I got dressed in traditional Rwandan clothes and went to visit the Kindergarten class that has been praying for and sending things to my Kindergarten class in Rwanda. They all wanted me to sign their yearbooks and kept telling people "That's Miss Alyssa. She's a teacher in Rwanda and is our Missions Projects!" It was cool to be with them and teach them some Kinyarwanda!
I got to talk on the phone with Annie last night and Queen and Andrew today!! Yay for being able to communicate even when we are all the way across the world from each other! I am excited about keeping in touch with people in Rwanda even when I am not there.
Leah came over just in time to eat lunch with the crowd of Luke's friends that come over every week for a free lunch! My house has a BEAUTIFUL waterfall that I had never seen. Crazy.
I got to meet baby Cole finally!! Cole is nine months old, but I obviosuly had never seen him...It was great to play with him and have dinner with Josh and Jaime at our house!

It's wonderful to have you home, Alyssa!!! What a great recap of an awesome first day home - uh, I mean visit.
Love you! Momma
Alyssa, I've been gone so this is a bit late, but welcome back to the US! Your blogs have been such a blessing. Loved the homecoming pics, haven't seen your family in ages so it's like a visit! Have a great time with all your friends and family! Much love, Judy Riley
