Last month in Rwanda was so amazing. Kigali was beautiful and full of amazing people. Here’s a look at my month in Kigali.

Agape Vita. My team for the first 4 months of the Race. This was our last team pic together that we took when we got to Uganda. I am now on a new team, Dandy Lions! I get to do life for the next few months with 5 amazing women. Their blogs are to the left, check them out!

We walked down lots of red dirt roads during our door to door evangelism.

It was so green in Kanombe, the neighborhood we stayed in.

We walked on this road everyday on our way to the church/school.

I saw so many rainbows here in Rwanda.

More red dirt roads. This one is in the valley between the hill the home we stayed on was and some friends of our host we went to visit.

One day during games with the kids it started to rain. At first they hid under the awning and looked at us like we were crazy when we ran out into the rain. But, they eventually joined in.

Such sass.

Sweet girl enjoying the rain.

This sweet girl was always at school and games and would walk home with us.

Dancing in the rain!

This is Kevine. She has next level sass.

Kevin was one of the kindest students in my English class and had the sweetest smile. He also enjoyed dancing in the rain.

Some days the water wouldn’t work at our host’s home, so we improvised by showering in the rain.

Rain showers are my new favorite way to bathe.

For Thanksgiving, we made a Thanksgiving breakfast meal for our host family and their friends. We made over 80 pieces of French Toast.

One of our lessons involved teaching describing words in English to the kids. I then asked them to describe a typical beautiful woman. My artist skills are on point.

Sandra and Moses teaching us Kinyarwandan.

This is sweet Eric. He didn’t think I was taking good enough notes, so he took them for me. He also did my Kinyarwandan homework for me.

This kids working hard in English class.

Sometimes you have to teach, and let a sweet child give you a hair mustache at the same time.

A sweet family we met while doing door to door Evangelism.

We prayed for this family and then the young girl in the pink (her name is Name) asked if she could pray for us.

After we met Name, she started coming to English class.

Christopher was with is everyday translating and making sure we didn’t get lost and just being a huge asset. He also had to climb a wall to get a ball Aryne kicked over it.

One of the games the kids played in the afternoons involved a giant colorful parachute (reminded me of games at the Little Gym and P.E. in elementary school). They would put a ball in the middle and shake the parachute and if the ball came out of the parachute, whatever color it rolled out of, that team got a point. Color team with the least amount of points at the end wins!

Another game the kids played involved jumping over a line. There would be a caller who would yell “forward” and “back” (in Kinyarwandan) and they would jump forward or backwards over the line. If you mess up, or jump on the line you’re out. The Kinyarwandan words for forward and back sounded very similar to me, so I was not very good at this game.

One of our last days with the kids we taught them to play Hide n Seek. I found this guy hiding in a trash can. He was very dedicated to the game.

Another kid dedicated to Hide n Seek. Unfortunately, he couldn’t quite fit.

Sweet Bobby during game time. I think he has a piece of my hair in his hands.

One day the kids followed us home from school. After we thought they had left I went to the bedroom and then heard giggles. This is what I saw out the window.

This is sweet Kamikazi (it means Queen here). One day she stole my glasses during class. When Moses explained to her I needed them to see, her jaw dropped and she carefully took them off and handed them back to me.
