The song “ Time of your life” By Green Day is perfect for my summer. This really has been the time of my life. I have been so blessed to do all that I’ve done.
The biggest thing was my trip to Rwanda. That was the best ever!! I was able to go last summer and I caught the Rwandan bug but to be able to go back was even better. It was so great to see everyone again. I missed them so much!! This summer dad, Pastor Raleigh, Mama Mary, Pastor Darren, Mr. Rodgers and I went to Kigali to have a pastors and wives conference. It was so amazing!! Dad, Pastor Raleigh and Pastor Darren all preached and had discussions. Mama Marry ( pastor Raleigh’s wife) had a session with the women and gave her testimony, I was also able to share. Mr. Rodgers did a great job doing all of the details and so much more.
One of the greatest things that I was able to do is go back to the church called Rukera. We visited there first year and to be able to go back was so great. Dad and Pastor Darren preached and then we were able to goats as gifts to the members of the village and go to a site where they want to build a school. On the way back from seeing the site I was able to play soccer with some of the kids. It was so fun! They all laughed and must of wondered why this mazungu can’t even play a simple game =) While we dad and I walked back to the car, being the hyper planners we are, tried to figure out how we could stay a week there in Rukera. So by the time we got to the car we had figured out food, shelter, and mission jobs we could do. My heart is in Rukera and all of Rwanda and I hope to return soon!
