Kabale

Here we are in the Edirisa Coffee Shop in Kabale.We were welcomed by many old friends!!We arrived here yesterday and spent the evening with Joab,Connie,and Joanna.Then today we went to the school to receive our "program".Everything here has a program!Then we went to the teachers room to see many faces we know.Its amazing how quick a year goes and you feel back at home the minute you walk in. We are spending today settling in and obtaining a cell phone etc.Tracy will start teaching Wednesday and we are to report every day as part of the staff.They have not yet decided what program Tracy will be teaching!So...
Our last 2 days in Kigali were very good.We had a Bible Study with some folks we see every year.We talked about suffering ,forgiveness,and rising above.I don't think we sometimes have a clue!These people have lost family members to machetes.And what we consider suffering!Then Sunday we had a great day at the Presbyterian church.French service was led by a Swiss woman missionary and Tracy preached at the English service.
We again had communion there.We met missionaries serving there who knew Dave and Babs Veneman from Modesto. Then telling Charles' family bye we headed for the border.
It was very good to arrive here where we feel so much at home.It is great to communicate in English and to see so many people who are part of our lives.The internet is very slow but I might try some pictures.God Bless and thanks for your prayers.
