Coming to an end...

Hello!
Well...it has been a few days since we have posted and we finally have some time to update you! We have been so thankful that we have been so busy! Since our time here was short we have been praying that we would have full days and be able to get done what we felt like God was calling us here to do. Like Melissa said in an earlier post we were able to visit about 65 of our Anchor of Hope children in their homes or at school, get updates on them, pictures and video to take back home. These kids are absolutely precious! The 3 full days that we spent visiting the children in their homes was emotionally hard, seeing how little they have and after talking to some of their families there are so many more needs...it can get overwhelming. We had some sweet moments of just spending time in prayer with these families, trusting and knowing that God will provide.

Last week we were also able to visit the school that Melissa and I taught in last summer, it was fun to see the kids and teachers again and spend time with them.
We have also been able to spend the last two sundays worshipping at Pastor Esron's church! We have been so blessed by his family and he and his wife, Kezia, always take such good care of us while we are here!

The next few days will be busy as we wrap things up here. Tomorrow we will work in the AOH office, Wednesday and Thursday we will be at the Non-Profit exhibition that is taking place here in Kigali. We are excited that AOH will be at this and be able to share more about our ministry! We fly out Thursday evening at 8pm...Kigali time.

We have said good-bye to the AOH kids, never easy, and we will spend the next few days saying good-bye to our sweet friends here. Please pray for us over the next few days as we finish the last few things.

We are so thankful for the time we have had here! Like every time...we have mixed feelings about leaving. Not ready to say good bye to our friends here, but also miss our friends and family back home.

Thank you again for all of your support! We have been so blessed by you all! Your emails, texts...even though we can't text back, and facebook messages! We are so thankful for each of you!
