Today, Monday we are heading off to a national day of remembering the Genocide of 14 years ago here in Rwanda and will actually get to hear the President of Rwanda speak. From what we understand this will be a very emotional day for the people of Rwanda as they remember their families and what happen.
When I awoke this morning at 4:30 a.m. I looked out of my hotel room on the city and the hillside with the lights twinkling and with no movement at all on the streets and tried but knowing that I could not fully understand what happened here in 1994. It was a somber feeling.
Have a great day. Everyone sends their love and we wish you were all here to experience this with us and what God is doing in Rwanda. Maybe next year? YES.

"Sing...to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything." (Eph 5:19-20)
No matter the source of the evil, if we are in God and completely surrounded by Him, we must realize that it has first passed through Him before coming to us. Because of this, we can thank Him for everything that comes our way. Offering thanks for what He will bring out of it and through it. These sweet people are a true example of this. They offer us continual thanksgiving and praise and in return, God then richly blesses them and those around them.
Praying for you. Love you ~ Court
