Last full day in Rwanda

We went to Pastor Pease’s chruch for sunday morning service and had a great time there again. She is one of very few female pastors in Kigali and it was neat to be in her church and support her in an area that doesn’t always embrace her. At 2 o clock, Kayla went with part of the team to go see the latest well that was dug as a result of the funds that were raised by Grace Capital Church. Some of you may remember that Kayla did a pancake breakfast last year to raise money toward this effort. It was pretty cool that she got the opportunity to see the fruits of that labor. Some of the women and children that use that particular well were there so they got to interact with some of the 3000 people who now have clean water to drink! How cool is that?!
I went to the orphanage again for a visit. I was able to meet with the Mother Superior and show her the recent pictures of JP and how he has grown. She did remember us and him. That was cool. But the rest of the visit was bittersweet. Good to interact and shower some love on the kids, but hard too for lots of reasons.
I stopped at a downtown market after as I was looking for a few specific things to bring home that I couldn’t find at the local market. Sunday night we had our final team meeting and it was a really good meeting. We all got to share and be honest and brainstorm how we might do things differently next time. All in all the trip was remarkable with not much room for improvement but in hindsight we found areas where we should have done more planning ahead of time.
