Lekker

Hello everyone!
Again, I apologize for it being so long since I wrote. Life is just crazy out here in the DRC.
For the past 2 weeks we had a team from South Africa come stay with us. It was absolutely amazing, and they definitely brought some needed fun and excitement. Kyle and I have new words and phrases we are trying to incorporate into our everyday conversation... and we will be bringing it back to the States. Lekker.

Easter here was so much fun! The amazing S.A's brough over 300 chocolate eggs! Again... you can see why I loved them so much. Pastor here has never experienced an Easter egg hunt... so naturally... we had to have one for his entire family. It was so fun to see them running around. A very great moment.
He is Risen!

We have done a couple more Heal Africa trips complete with healings, singing, dancing, all good fun. As well as more lessons with our Ndosho school children! They were out on holiday for a few weeks, so it was wonderful being able to return and see our beautiful kiddies! Plus, we cemented the second floor! No more sketchy wood planks, but solid concrete! The school is really coming together. Before we leave we would like to decorate and continue to beautify the dreary walls. Thanks to the Bethel team that came, as well as Cassandra's parents bringing school supplies we are able to add to the scenery. I even drew out the alphabet on colored paper to hang up on the walls. Little by little we are getting things done.

Unfortunately, Kyle and I were not able to make it out to Kalembe when S.A was here; I was sick for a little bit. Good thing one of the S.A's is a doctor, (again, they were just incredible) and gave me some medicine. I am feeling much better now, and will be going out to Kalembe this Monday. I cannot wait to see my favorite people again! They are so incredible!

Not too much exciting news to report, but the time the team was here was one of fun and fellowship. I loved meeting all of them, and Kyle and I now have new life long friends! We are already planning our S.A trip! haha. Plus, almost every night I dominated in the game MAFIA. ahahaha. unstoppable.

We are currently in Rwanda, celebrating Cass's 24th birthday!!! (complete with real chocolate cake, and a movie theatre trip! HUUURAHHH! It was probably the most "normal" day we've had since coming to Africa.) It was great. Plus, Kyle and I were able to finally change our flight and secure a date home. Unfortunately, the only day we could leave that wouldn't cost us 2000 extra dollars was the 19th. So, we're cutting our trip a bit shorter than we had wanted... but we are most excited about returning home!

So yes... Kyle and I will be arriving back in the ATL on May 19th. We want to say thank you to all of our supporters, both prayerfully and financially. We definitely COULD NOT have gone on such an amazing trip without you guys. We appreciate and love all of you so much.
Thank you.
