Loving and Welcoming People
What my team and I did today touched my heart in a great way. Today I felt a wave of
different emotions. We drove through a crazy road with bumps which was super
scary, but the drive was completely worth it to see the joy of the people once
we arrived. The children crowded around us and hugged us like they have known
us forever. Later in the day we want on a long hike to the bottom of the
mountain to speak with different families. I was able to pray, share my
favorite verse, and share my family
pictures with one of the families and even though I had never met them I felt
comfortable sharing with them. There was a old women who 80 and walked up the
mountain every Sunday to go to church and that was just so heart warming. She
also gave the best hugs of all times, and made me feel so blessed to be there.
What was also amazing was the fact that even though these families live in
poverty they still bring in orphans to their homes. Rwanda has some of the most
loving and welcoming people. I am so thankful for my parents letting me come on
this trip. I am truly blessed
