We had a wonderful Sabbath today. We started our day with an early breakfast and a drive through the beautiful countryside to Kayonza. We worshipped at New Life Bible Church in Kayonza. What a treat it was to fellowship with other believers and to witness their joy as they praised God. Deshua and Lynn W. shared their testimonies with the congregation and Enid encouraged all of us as she shared from the story of the demon possessed man from Luke 8.
This evening was the final night of the women's conference. It was an exciting evening praising God and being reminded of the value we have as women. Bethany, Kirsten, Ariel, and I rocked the runway as we participated in the fashion show at the conference. Hopefully we'll get some pictures up soon - I haven't seen them yet, but I've been told they exist. The general consensus is that this was the best night of the conference.
To top the night off some of us received dance lessons with traditional Rwandan baskets on our heads. Once again, I haven't seen pictures, but I'm sure we looked graceful and talented.
Thanks for your prayers. Please continue to pray for us. Tomorrow we will spend the morning at the Dream Center with the Dream Children (street boys) and drive to Akagera in the afternoon. On Tuesday we will spend time in Kageyo. Please pray for our travel through the country tomorrow and our time with those we will interact with. I'm not sure we'll have the ability to blog tomorrow evening so you might not hear from us until Tuesday evening.

Looking forward to seeing pictures! Especially the "rockin' the runway pics!". Please do share! You all have been in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are a gift to the women and children you are ministering to; and I'm certain you feel these women and children are a gift to you! May God continue to bless you as you serve. Safe travels. Looking forward to further updates. Susan C.
