I went to Africa

Hello friends!

I was going to sit here and give you a play-by-play about how I spent my week, but I won't do it justice. There's no way that I can properly explain how amazing and eye-opening each day was to me. So, I'll give you my brief thoughts (because my brain is shot.)

I left for Rwanda a week from yesterday, and in all honesty, one week is not enough to experience the beauty of that country! We drove, we worked, we played, we laughed, we hugged, we cried, we safari-ed (?)! I wish I could have spent months and months, but I'll just be grateful for the 5 days I DID have!

If you ever want to see God's redemptive power in action--go to Rwanda. That country has seen some really terrible things, but God has worked in the hearts of those people and has brought healing and hope to a broken place. They have the innocent faith that Christ calls for us to have, and I loved seeing them love without boundaries, and put ALL of their trust and hope in the Lord, I felt convicted and excited and my heart nearly exploded!

In conclusion, I love Rwanda--I'd put up with the 24 hours of flying all over again to be back there. I want to live like them, love like them, trust like them. Plus, I spent the week with 11 of the coolest, greatest, most hilarious youth students I've had the pleasure of spending time with, and even though they are just a year younger than me, I loved them like they were my little ducklings <3 God is so cool. So stinkin' cool. And I'm so so so blessed.
