Holy Ground

Internet availability is an issue in Rwanda, regular communications is not always possible.

Rwanda is a beautiful country - although it is the dry season, the hills and valleys are still very green. On Wednesday, we arrived at the work site of Joseline's house. Joseline is a 19 year old that cares for her three sisters, ages 18, 16, and 12. We began the day outside the house with communion. A large crowd of children began to come to the work site to see what the white people and their bus were doing at this construction site.

We are working on the external walls with mud bricks and morter. Some of the team will carry mud mortar in their hands, while others are carrying mud bricks, and others are using mud to finish the outside of the walls. At breaks we play with the children, many of them have never seen a white person or a camera before. We've brought along some soccer balls which are great ice breakers!
