It's Actually Happening!!

Hi Everyone,

   I have never blogged in my life so bear with me:) After almost a year of thought, preparation, and LOTS of prayer I am finally heading to Kigali, Rwanda for 2 1/2 months. And believe it or not, I leave in 5 days!! I will be working with an organization called Reach the Children of Rwanda International (RCRI). RCRI works to get orphans off the streets and in sponsorship programs so that they can go to school and be well taken care of.

  I am so blessed to have this opportunity to serve God and the people of Rwanda. The feeling is totally overwhelming! God has been so faithful and made it known to me that He never forgot the desire of my heart: to be called a servant of God. And here He is blessing me beyond comprehension by allowing me to go Africa! Like I said before, the feeling is totally overwhelming. I have learned so much just through the process of getting ready and have been able to meet (over the phone) some incredible people!

   Anyways, on this blog I will post pictures and tell you about my time in Rwanda. I will definitely try to be as regular as I can with updates but Wi Fi will probably be limited where I am. Please pray for safety and health and that all my flights and plane connections will go well. But most importantly, that I will be an example of God's light and love for His people.

I'll keep you updated!

Love,

Heidi
