I am working on recapping my week in Rwanda, but first let me ask you this question: Whether you built your dream house or you are renting an apartment:

What is your favorite thing about your home? Think about it for a minute before continuing.........

I would have said my big beautiful kitchen with too much cabinet space, my pool and secluded back yard, the huge game room with built in book cases and a wet bar and my jaccuzzi tub in my bathroom. Now I say indoor plumbing is my favorite thing about my house, followed by a close 2nd - electricity 24/7. We all know people live in poverty around the world, but this past week I did. It is difficult to put into words all my feelings, and actually where I stayed is one of the best houses in Muhura. The pastor has electricity for 3 hours a day. He has a 13" TV and one TV station, but he has an outhouse, cooking is done outside and his children who will be 6 and 8 this summer have never had icecream. From now on I will clean my toilet and my shower with joy since I personally met hundreds of people who have neither. Most of them don't even know what they are missing. They know very little about the world outside their village.

Please pray my missing luggage will find their way to me. The films and video tapes along with other important infomation about Muhura is there along with gifts for some of you.
Love and God's blessings to you all.
