A brief overview

We’ve been in Rwanda and Uganda for 10 days now (or at least I think… to be honest, I’ve lost all track of time here and literally have no idea what day it actually is). Internet is spotty here and it turns out that writing a blog post on your phone is actually much harder than one would imagine.  There are so many stories to tell, and I wish I’d been able to write them as they happened, but I’ve needed both time to process as well as slightly more reliable internet. Even now as I’m sitting down in an attempt to write something about our time here, I’m looking at the clock and realizing that I am supposed to head to dinner is 7 minutes… but I promise, many more stories to come as soon as my team heads home (tomorrow!) and I settle in to Uganda.

An incredibly brief overview of our time…

We’ve spent time learning about World Relief and their work in Rwanda.

We’ve visited the homes of families affected by the amazing staff at World Relief.

We met a girl names Josephine and her goat, whom she was incredibly proud of.

We have danced up a storm (literally… the dust cloud was huge) in a mud and stick church.

We’ve bathed in swamp water while learning about the lack of water sources in Uganda.

We’ve heard the stories of pastors who have devoted their lives to bringing together local churches to better the lives of their community.

We’ve eaten multiple forms of potatoes for every single meal for the past week and a half.

I have so many stories that I cannot wait to tell here, but alas, it is time for more potatoes, so I must sign off for now.
