Rach and John in Rwanda

It’s been a fun and frustrating few weeks for many reasons. The fun times included getting ice cream with our house guests, Jamie and Ariana (good ice cream is VERY hard to find here – but believe it or not they have it at the airport, it is just VERY expensive so this is the first time since being in Rwanda that we had ice cream!) and ALL four us riding on the moto for about 100 yards – we still need to reenact the episode for photographic evidence but it was a really fun evening.

Even though it cost a small fortune it tasted delicious!

We are back in rainy season (we think, it didn’t really seem to stop) and it is nice and refreshing. We have some beautiful sunsets we can see from the porch.

We are also having some crazy rain and thunder storms, when even inside it is so loud you can hardly hear each other! Jamie and Ariana were very happy about one rain storm that came after a very hot day. They decided to run outside and dance! Florence was shocked (Rwandans never go out in the rain) and told them they must come inside or they will catch malaria!

They were VERY happy about the rain

We also ran into a marketing event for a new phone company while we were at the market. They coaxed John into dancing and they loved it – a muzungu who can dance! it was a lot of fun and he got a prize too.

More great news is that Joshua and Esther are both now enrolled in a boarding school, “Bright Light’, and start after the Easter break on 19th April. We will post pictures of them in their uniforms when they start school. Both Joshua and Esther are really excited to be going back to school and are excited to board as well. It is great news!
