First Day in Rwanda

Bronwyn sent us an email describing her first day in Rwanda.  

Here is a small part of her note that we thought you might be interested in:

Hey guys! Today has been CRAZY! The internet has been down all day today. We went to sewing class and the grocery store today. It was so different. It's weird here... I can understand portuguese, english, spanish, french, italian, some german. But Kinyirwandan is NOTHING like any of this. It's crazy! So hard to understand. I bought a journal today in the grocery store to write down words I want to know... basic stuff like thank you, please, excuse me, blah blah blah. 

Today at lunch Louise told me the person she knows that has a connection with an orphanage is in Europe for the next 3 weeks. Then, we went to the grocery store. While we were checking out, this family started talking to us. They run an orphanage about 20km from here and invited me to stay/visit with them for however long I wanted to. Is God cool or what? Here's their blog... www.tyrrellsinafrica.org


One of the things that Bronwyn wanted to do while she was there was to help at an orphanage. Meeting this couple on her first full day in Kigali can only be described as a "God thing." Only He knows where this connection will end up but just the fact that He had the grocery store conversation already waiting for Bronwyn today is just amazing! 
 

We would definitely agree with Bronwyn's words that God is extremely cool.  

She put up some pictures of her first day on her blog if you want to check them out and leave her a note.  Just click here to go there.
