Quick note
Hello everyone! I need to be quick because I don't have much time to write.
Yesterday was fun, we went and visited Pastor's daughter in Southern Rwanda, it was a 4 hour bus ride. We got to see a lot of the country, although we only visited her for 30 minutes, which seemed silly because we had to travel a total of 8 hours. On the way home I was excited because I had my first small conversation completely in KinyaRwanda.
Today in English class we talked about why it is hard for the rich and the poor to believe in Jesus. I had 3 students today(some of my students have gotten jobs) and two out of three thought it as way easier to believe when you are rich. The points for why it is hard when you are poor is that you look at your life, and wonder, "How can there be a God if I am suffering so much?" and for being rich we don't feel a need for God, and don't give the credit for our blessings to God, but feel we have earned it. Josianne thought that believing in God is simple when you are rich because all you need to pray for is peace, and your relationship with God. It was interesting how they thought life is so perfect when you have money. "You are not sick, your family is good, you only have to pray and give thanks to God."
Anyway,we are leaving to go to some crusade for Christ, so I must go.

Hilliary my love can I still come for Christmas at your house? I want to. Plus I'm hopefully going to Mexico around that time probably the week after so I'd be able to just fly down from Seatle. Tell me what you think. I love you so much.
Great reflections and conversations. We are so excited to hear about your experiences and all that God is doing. Keep on and congrats on the conversation in yet another new language.
