In a crazy series of events, we’re spending most of this week in the home of a Rwandan pastor and his family in Kigali, Rwanda. We had met a friend of his who suggested we contact him when we were here, without meeting us he graciously invited us into his home.

We have some good stories from the last few days, but a couple of our favorites….

Yesterday Marc went to a pastors conference with the pastor and he was told be ready to leave at 9, they left and ran errands first. By the time they got to the meeting it was nearly 12. Marc asked the attendees how long they’d been waiting (our pastor friend was the speaker…), they had gotten there at 9. Hows that for African time? But people are really kind, one of the pastors translated the entire talk for Marc.

I stayed back to get laundry done, but when I started doing it, it became clear I have no real idea how to handwash clothes. I was quickly ousted, and my laundry done in record time by the pastors wife and her sister. Thankfully my potato peeling skills are up to par and I was able to be helpful in the kitchen (with the 12 & 14 year olds…).

Today we are traveling a few hours to see a orphanage the pastor runs and drop off supplies.

We will post photos soon!
