Back in Rwanda!!

Hi everyone!

I'm now BACK in Rwanda! I couldn't feel more at home and more welcomed. I didn't even make it out of security before someone was greeting me! A guy from our church works at the airport and as I was struggling at the top of some stairs I just heard him say, "Wait! Let me help you!" And from then on it has been a constant welcoming. I'll never forget coming out of security and feeling like there were just too many people to hug and greet and keep walking at the same time. Daniella and Nathan ran underneath the divider to make sure they were the first ones to greet me!!

And now I am back into the swing of things! On Saturday I taught CLASS 201, which was a true privilege. How fun to talk about these principles of growing in God that are the same no matter what country you are in. (If you thought that class was long in the States, think about trying to translate the whole thing! I just moved quickly :-)

Then of course on Sunday I enjoyed being back at church. Above all it is exciting to see people doing some of the things I did before I left to come to the States. There is a guy who is committed to being there every week to do the powerpoint. The children's ministry is growing in volunteers...How exciting to see our church members starting to do ministry!! The children have shifted to a new place and we now have more than one room so I am very excited about helping plan a schedule and ongoing curriculum!

So, once again, God has blessed me. I feel like I have returned to right where He wants me and am confident He will continue to grow me and use me in this year.
