Teaching in Rwanda

Here is a picture of Diana and Loretta getting ready to have breakfast on Loretta's patio in Nairobi.











We were invited to the Kuerts for supper and they surprised me with a birthday cake and a beautiful scarf. It was good to see old friends again. :)







Wow, we have been in Rwanda from Saturday through Tuesday! We taught all day Saturday,(the picture is of some of the students)







...went to church on Sunday and took a nice drive out to the La Palisse hotel on the lake. After a nice lunch in a gazebo by the lake we returned to Kigali.


This is a picture of the missionaries' home in Kigali, Billy and Jo Wilson, a very sweet couple that have been wonderful to us.
Our classes this week are from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The country is beautiful and the temperatures have been in the 80s during the day and down in the 50s and 60s at night. We have gotten rain showers almost every day.
Today we had a gully washer!

When we got back from the Memorial our guest house was flooded and the water was standing in the house. We had to use a squeegee, brooms and a towel to mop up all the water. :) My backpack and some of my things are still hanging on the chair with a fan drying them out. Our training classes have been going great, although tonight several students couldn't make it to the class from the continuing rain. Hopefully they will be able to come tomorrow night.

New Adventure

Well, it's almost time to begin another adventure for the Chinagirl. :) Diana and I will be flying out Monday the 8th for Nairobi, Kenya to help a friend of ours teach some TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) classes in Africa. I will try to post as we go along and if possible I will put some pictures in. We expect this to be an exciting 6 weeks while we travel from Kenya to Rwanda to Ethiopia. Please pray for God's protection, strength and guidance for us as the three of us will be doing intensive traveling and training.
