welcomed with open arms...kinda

After 2 very long days of travel our team finally landed down onto the red soil of Rwanda. We stepped out of the airport and sure enough our Rwandan friend from Canada Eddie was there to greet us. It was so nice to see a familiar face, but we had pretty high anticipation only to find that nobody was there to pick us up from Gahini. After finding public transport out to Gahini we found that there too we were on our own. In fact we have still yet to meet a leader or even an English speaker after 2 full days of being here. We’re starting to get a little bit nervous about this but nonetheless we have no loss of excitement, anticipation and confidence in being here. The team is all very excited to be experiencing the life changing soil of Africa with all its sounds, smells, landscape and mostly the smiles. We covet your prayers now as we prepare for our first camp this week and all of the uncertainties that face us at this time. We know God has brought us here but our hearts cannot help but feel the anxiety of all the unknown factors in play. Thanks to all you troopers who keep us in your prayers. Without the good Lord we are wasting our time and we are surly to fail. Praise Him for He’s worth the pursuit. Even all the way in Africa where we have no English translator, It makes it a lot more interesting this way especially for all our newbies!
