I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS...I really will be home for the holidays - in my new home in Rwanda, that is. I’ve spent my first few months with Brad and Kiki as I settle into Rwandan life. However, this month I moved into my own place. I look forward to settling in to my new neighborhood and having additional opportunities for entertaining and hospitality.
AND HAVE A NEW FAMILY TO CELEBRATE WITH
Meet my new brothers and sisters, the ECK staff. I spent Thanksgiving morning teaching English, explaining our Thanksgiving traditions and the
importance of family. As I was saying, “My family cannot be here...” I was interrupted in a unison outburst, “No, we are your family.”
I’m so grateful for my new family here. We’ve spentthe school break together in English training. The staff are working hard and the training has been very enjoyable. During this time, we’ve also been meditating on God’s grace. It’s been a refreshing and unifying time as we prepare for the next school year to begin in January.
AND SO MANY REASONS TO BE THANKFUL:
- For the ways God pursues us with his love.
- For all of you who are thinking and praying for me and Rwanda YFC
- For my new Rwandan family and the beginning of lifelong friendships
- For a successful school year with our P6 (6th grade) students doing well on the national exams, in spite of the language change.
- For the opportunity to follow the P6 students by adding a S1 (7th grade) class in January.
