Here I am in Rwanda

I arrived in Kigali at 8:00 PM on Saturday. All my luggage arrived at the same time I did, so it was a good thing that both Brad and Michelle met me at the airport. On Sunday morning Brad spoke at a small church in Kigali and Michelle and I tagged along. The service was about 3 and 1/2 hours long and our translator didn't tell us much of what was going on, so I mostly just watched the kids and noticed how many times the pastor said "candy." I later learned that this means "and" in Kinyarwanda. In the evening we had dinner with a missionary family whose two sons attend the school. Monday was mostly spent going over curriculum and getting my computer set up. Tomorrow will be my first day in the classroom, but mostly I'll just be observing and helping out. There are only 6 students there right now as the others are on furlough. It will be nice to be able to ease into the teaching. Right now Michelle and I are staying at the Thomas' house as a family will be using our house for the next couple weeks as they attend a conference. This means that I can't fully unpack yet, but that we also have solar electricity for when the power goes out. (We've been without power most of today.)
