Rwanda (Part 3)

So I found a new internet cafe that hopefully will be open more often. It is about a mile walk for me to get to it, but hey, if it's open and the other is not then I'll go to it. It's also considerably faster. It now only takes me about 1 1/2 minutes to log in and check my email vs the 5-6 at the other place.

Last night we went out to a village and showed the "Jesus" film. There were approximately 200 people from the village there in attendance and it was a moment I will never forget. They all were so entranced with the film and were glued threw the entire thing. It was kinda funny to me though because it was dubbed in their language and was done somewhat poorly. Imagine a bad Japanese dub and then make it worse. Still though they loved it and somwhere around 50 to 100 people accepted Christ. I couldn't really tell because it was dark there.

I can't get over how nice everyone here is. I'm constantly sticking my arm out of the window and waving and people and yelling "Muraho!" (hello) to everyone that passes. About every other kid if they are big enough and fast enough will begin in a dead sprint after the car regardless of how fast it is going. I love the people here and wish I could stay longer, but I'm also dying to get back to the available luxuries at home. I pray that I'm able to come back sometime next year. Only time and God will tell.

This morning we went to another village and played "football" and sang with the people that lived there. I also took a bunch of "muscle shots" with the kids there. It's absolutely hilarious. They will mimic any pose or sound that you make.

Until next time, Murabaho!

I can totally picture you posing in weird ways and having the kids mimic you. I'm glad it's going well.
