Today was another full but very productive day for all of us here in Rwanda. Our days begin quite early and seem to end very late, but everyone is in good spirits and still working as hard as ever. Also I made an error in the last post, we didn't start a sixth room, Floyd just can't count!
The women went to a different orphange program yesterday morning where they were greeted by all of the students singing, 'We are glad to receive you, Welcome'. As the one before, there were songs and stories and games and coloring... all things that children love to do. There was one particular boy who's clothes were in rough shape, and we were able to bless him with a new pair of shorts.
The women then joined the men in the afternoon at the worksite. I wish I could post a picture to show you the progress we have made. When we were leaving last night, the men were putting the final row of bricks on. The rafters will go up as soon as everything is dry enough. Through out the day team members took time out from lifting bricks to interact with the kids. There were soccer games, stories told, music danced to and just simply attention given to those who needed it. The new thing over here now is to give "knuckles". That's when you bump your fist together. It's quite amusing to jump out of a jeep and have a ton of kids holding up their fists... and you gotta bump everyone of them!!
So all is well. Please keep praying and checking back with what is going on with us over here in Rwanda.

So glad to here that you are having the experience of a life time and that the build is coming along so quickly. Love and miss you. Praying for you everyday.
ReplyDeleteThis post is for Colleen and the group. I am so proud of you and pleased that you are able to be there to experience and help these orphans. When our daughter Diana was there she told us that although we think these children need so much, what they really need more than anything is LOVE. I know that you all will be providing that on a daily basis and will receive the same in kind. My prayers to all of you and my thanks. Love to you Colleen and hugs to all.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone!!! Glad to hear about your progress. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to hearing all your stories when I pick you up at the airport on Saturday.
