Our first days

Emily and I arrived on Saturday at about 12:30 (7 hours ahead of
Dallas time). We got a quick tour and nice meal, then almost
immediately went to the praise team practice for the Sunday morning
worship service. It was amazing getting to sing in both English and
Kinyarwandan in front of the church, which had about 150 that morning.

We have a very comfortable setup here in the missionary's house. All
of our meals have been great, and we're not really in need of anything.

We have had our first reading sessions today. They were both inspiring
and sobering. One of my readers lost his entire family to the
genocide. He is a student at the university and spends his free time
teaching children, visiting people at the hospital, and praying.

It is incredibly beautiful here. We are so glad to be here and can't
wait to meet the rest of our readers.
