Alright. Here we are. Our last night in Burundi. I'm getting teary eyed just writing this, oh dear! Today was a fun day, we rested, did a little shopping for those back home, and chilled around the house getting things ready for tomorrow. Emily and I wanted to do something special for the sweet ladies of the church that have been cooking for us and helping us all around town. We have become so close with them that i truly feel as if i have another family here in Bujumbura. We put together a little package for them consisting of a little makeup kit, some nail polish, mascara, and earrings. They broke into tears upon receiving it from us with shouts of thanks to God. They are so sweet and deserve all of it an more. It turns out women everywhere like to feel special with a bit of makeup and some accessories! They are so sweet and give so much of their time to the church. Rose and Rosine are both widows, the church is trying to save enough money to send both of them to the local university so they can increase their education and learn english. This will both help with their ministry and communication. Emily and i are currently looking for ways to support them through school because as we have gotten to know them, we have found that they are such godly women and we want them at the forefront of sending the good news throughout all of Africa.
We did a bit of debriefing today. Talked about the pros and cons of this trip, what could have been done better or worse. And at the end we each went around and told each other what that person did which was noticed and praised. It was so great to hear everyones heart and opinions on the trip. I think God has some big ministry plans that will continlue through the years and i feel honored to have served such a small role. We look forward to seeing all of you soon! YOu are dearly loved and missed!
