Not a fan of goodbyes...

I have never been good at saying goodbyes, and saying goodbye to our sweet friends here in Rwanda is especially hard, BUT...Melissa and I are so very thankful for the relationships God has allowed us to have here! We have been so blessed by each person we have come into contact with.

We have had a great last few days! Yesterday we were able to go to Anchor of Hope one last time to spend time with the kids and say goodbye. Its hard leaving them but at the same time so encouraging knowing that they are being well taken care of! I cant say enough good things about the ministry that Anchor of Hope does and the way the staff there loves and cares for each child! Knowing they are given a meal a day and loved and taken care of makes it a little easier to leave. They are such precious children and I know they hold a special place in mine and Melissa's heart. If you would like to know more about the ministry of Anchor of Hope you can visit their website at www.africaanchor.org

Last night we went to our favorite place here, Sola Luna, for dinner with Esron and his precious family! They have been so great to us and taken such great care of us since we have been here! Melissa and I call Esron and his wife, Kezia, our Africa Mom and Dad! :)

We leave for the airport in about an hour...will fly to Nairobi and then don't leave for London until 11:00 tonight. We arrive in London early in the morning and then will arrive in Houston around 2:30 in the afternoon on Thursday!

We can't say enough how much all of your prayers and support have meant to us since we have been here! God has done such amazing things and we can't wait to share more with you! Our lives and hearts have been forever changed and we thank you for the love and support you have shown us through this! We will be updating more with pictures and video when we get home and can't wait to show you how God has moved in the people here through you!

Thanks again and we will see you in Texas! :)

Blessings!
Lisa
