Some pictures from Rwanda

Here are some recent pictures. The first one is of the six students we've been teaching so far reciting some verses for our Thanksgiving program. The other two are from a cookie exchange that was organized by the US military atachee's wife. They had a huge house with a full size Christmas tree. Michelle and I decided that we couldn't pass up the opportunity of having our picture taken with it. It was almost as good as a Santa Clause. About 20 women showed up at the cookie exchange. Women from the US, from the Netherlands, from Madagascar, and possibly from one or two other places. We all came home with about 72 cookies. It's a good thing the Thomases have a freezer and we have a Christmas program coming up at the school. I wouldn't want to eat all of those cookies on my own.
