saying good-bye...

We spent our last full day in Rwanda with the street kids. After doing some playing and shopping and packing up bags, most of us weren't in the mood for ministry to street kids.

Until the vans pulled up and they spotted us and ran waving and shouting with excitement.

It was a great day. There were lots of kids and lots of playing and caring and laughing and hugging and jumping...culminating with a "chapel time" with some amazing, sincere worship, and a hilarious version of David-and-Goliath.

Saying good-bye was tough. We've gotten to know these kids, we've gotten a glimpse into their joys and sorrows, challenges and successes...and we had to leave them there at the church. Certainly they will be in our prayers.

Also, Tuesday night Hindurwa came over and treated us to song...and dance! We definitely did not get to see these guys as much as we'd've liked, but loved the time that we did have...
