Arrived in Rwanda, ready to work
Some 30 hours after leaving Manhattan, KS, we arrived at the airport in Kigali, Rwanda, along with ALL of our luggage. It was a joy to be greeted at the airport by Bryan Hixson, a long-time friend and the missionary with whom we will work, and Moses Mbabaali, the youth pastor ("minister" has a different meaning in Rwanda) for Christ's Church in Rwanda. Right now we're sitting in Bryan and Holly Hixson's living room sorting out schedules for reading sessions that start first thing tomorrow (Thursday) morning at the Ishuli Fawe Girl's School. We had a fruitful information meeting at Fawe with 33 students and teachers in attendance and seven other teachers who filled out applications but couldn't attend today. We'll spend our days at Fawe and evenings and weekends with others at Christ's Church in Rwanda. We're excited to get started and transform nervous energy into productive work and plant seeds of faith. Thank you, everyone, for your support, encouragement and prayers.
By the way, Lora, Caleb is alive and well and will contact you soon. We're taking care of him. :-)
