Another Amazing Day

Today was an amazing day today, but then again every day is a new best day.

Today my van group went to the school here in Byumba, and we went to different classes teaching the children small English phrases like “what’s up” and “nothing much.” Also we showed the kids bubbles it was hilarious because they had never seen bubbles before, and there were so excited to blow bubbles and pop them as well. We also played a few games with them like, heads up seven up and four corners.

After the school we went to different peoples homes and talked to them about our lives and also they would share about their lives. One woman we visited her name was Joyce and she was so happy to share her story with us. She told you about how every morning at 5 A.M. she walks to the church to pray, and Pastor Johnson told us that sometimes he isn’t disciplined enough to go to his church that early to pray. Another woman we met, her name was June. And she took it upon herself to care for the other women whose husbands have died. Also she told us that her only request was for us was to give Pastor Rick Warren her greeting, and to tell him hello from the old woman who always danced in church.
