April has flown by!

If you are reading the blog and not on social media (facebook or instagram), I'm sorry for neglecting you! I think there aren't very many of you, but you are still worth the time.

April has flown by, largely because it was so busy! Here are pictures from the month!

Dinner: before and after. Fresh Lake Kivu tilapia, pounded cassava leaves with ground peanuts and maize meal cooked to gummy « fufu ». My favorite local meal!

Team building with the new cohort of young people une the intensive Nehemiah Program of Congo Leadership Institute. #worldchangers!

We have a vacation Bible school this week. Today was day 2 of 3, and we had 93 kids at least! Phew! Prayers appreciated as I am worn out! Tomorrow I lead games again as well as teach the lesson on Jonah 3 about repentance.

We made it through VBS! Sometimes it wasn’t easy as our crew of adults was very small, and I struggled with how it could have been so much better (enneagram 1!), but in the end, the kids had fun and heard God’s word, so we leave the results up to Him.

We made it through Easter and the three preceding weeks that were super busy. Now we’re taking a break! And today was a gift. We went to a fancy hotel for a meal. They were doing renovations. 😕 But they welcomed us into one of the cottages, made a fired and served us delicious food!😍

We are back home after a lovely 3-night R&R near the rainforest in Rwanda, about an hour east of Bukavu. It’s not tourist season, so we had the hotel to ourselves and didn’t do any “activities” other than walking around, reading, and watching the wildlife!

Special for those of you who follow the blog! (we haven't made a big social media announcement yet). If you didn't know, that's me with a pregnant belly! Almost to my third trimester!
