There were only a few left to do with the primary-aged children, so for the first time, we were able to talk to secondary-aged students. The thing about schools in Rwanda is that a student stays in the grade they are in until you are able to pass the exams…

We must have been way more tired than any of us thought because we didn’t wake up until almost 9am. We had another big breakfast {oh, how I miss breakfast in Rwanda!} and spent the morning playing with Ben and Josephine’s daughter, Micaiah.
Rwanda 2014 Day 6: Our Last Day in Nyabihu
Catch up on Part 1 of Rwanda trip here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here, Part 5 here MONDAY | September 15th Our last day in Nyabihu was, by far, my favorite day in Rwanda. We had finished interviewing the children and were done with all the home visits we were gonna do. It gave us the day to just spend with the kids without a bunch of work to do and every single moment was so special.
Rwanda 2014 Day 5: Church in Africa
Catch up on Part 1 of our Rwanda trip here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here SUNDAY | September 14th We got to “sleep in” on Sunday and didn’t have to be at breakfast until 8:15am. I’m not sure Cory slept a wink because he was so nervous about preaching. He had himself so worked up, he couldn’t even eat breakfast. Cory doesn’t pass up meals.
