The Journey Begins

Off To Africa....

 
 
 
 
Hooray!  The day of departure has arrived!  Today we are heading across the ocean to Rwanda with our family.  Joel will be working at a rural hospital, serving the beautiful people at Kibogora Hospital.  The kids & I will be spending the days playing with kids, making crafts, cooking, cleaning & enjoying summer.
 
Between now & when we arrive at the hospital we face quite a journey ahead of us.  We will be on 3 different airplanes, arrive in the dark & make our way to a guesthouse for an overnight, then travel by car through the mountains for a 3-6 hour ride along the dirt, dusty, bumpy, hair-pin-curvey road.
 
We covet your prayers :)
 
The few weeks leading up to this trip have  already been filled with the blessings of our BIG God. 
 
Joel prayed a peace-giving prayer over our family this morning - May our Father be with us & ahead of us as we fly on the wings of the dawn & settle on the far side of the sea. 
 
We love you all!
