New Friends.




Meet some sweet new friends of mine. The picture of the crazy man with the headdress is the Ntumba's driver. We (Amy, Linda, and I) are staying at the Ntumba's house in Casse Sociale until they return from the U.S. They have been there on a long term visit. Joseph is the driver for the Ntumba's and with them being gone he has been taking care of us and driving us to the many places we need to go. He has become quite the dear friend to all of us with his African sense of humor and deep willingness to serve. He is also our translator in most situations. He says that his english is "not good" but to us he has been a blessing to have around. About the picture in the middle. All of us teachers and American's living abroad have just fell in love with a place called Amohoro Amani. The word amohoro means peace. In my opinion, this place called Amohoro is a little piece of heaven right outside of Kigali. It is a sowing shop owned by a genocide survivor and widow named Grace. With the opening of the shop Grace has provided many jobs to widows. She not only gives them a job, she gives them purpose. She loves Jesus and provides bible studies for the women. I truly believe her business is being blessed because of Grace's sweet obedience, humility, and heart for God. She is the sweetest, dearest woman you will meet and she truly does make great bags, bed spreads, aprons, and skirts and it is all for the Lord. Last, but not least is a picture of our newest roommate and KICS teacher Linda. Linda has officially been here one week and what a blessing it has been! She joins us from Houston, Texas. She is a great person and loves Jesus deeply. She is going to do amazing things here in Rwanda through KICS, World Relief, and working with local orphanages. I truly feel blessed to have her here and look forward to walking beside her and seeing how God uses her here in Rwanda.
