Wedding Three

I have not been able to get on the internet these past few days. Emmanuel's last day is today and he gave me his TIGo little appendage thingy. This little thing can be charged up and I have internet anywhere, anytime.......it really sounds too good to be true, really!!!!
The last time I wrote I think we were headed to Goma..well the border of Congo. Because two of us had no visa we stayed on the Rwanda side while Pastor E. met up with Bruce. Anita came over to visit with us at a hotel on Lake Kivu. It was surreal to be there with them! I remember having them in our home for dinner after they visited us at West Salem Baptist Church way back when the kids were all little! Never, would I have dreamed of actually being so close to where they have the Hope Center for helping children traumatized by war, et..all. Plus being there to see the results of God answering our prayers about the wood shop training center!!!! It is just so very wonderful!!! Praise Him Immana ee sheemway! (Not sure that's how you spell it but that's how I say it)
Saturday was my third wedding. This one was for the Steven that had the Baboon climb in his window onto his lap, last September while the rest of us were looking at hippos out the other side of the van. This wedding was very elaborate lasting until after midnight. The traditional dancers with complete authentic costumes that they changed several times was wonderful! I also go to see Loice from our first trip (she was translator for Kristi/Jeannie's sewing lessons in 2008) I also had a grade 5 boy named Eric take the place of translator for me during the proceedings as Emmanuel had to greet a group from the US .....17 people coming for ministry and all the transport vehicles were at Steven's wedding. Things get only a little complicated....but really fast sometimes! But NO PROBLEM!! say la vie....(is that FRENCH?)
The motto for yesterday....go with the flow......The motto today......go with the flow too!! It's foreign to me but I'm ok with it!!!!! I do wonder about all those pictures of me in some brides wedding album.......Who is this she will ask? Hummmm, I'm not sure! will be the answer, but I am giving wonderful wedding gifts.......THE LAMB book complete with CD in English. It may be a bit premature....written for children! But!!!! What a wonderful resource book too! Steven's bride is a Sunday school teacher....her class went up to give her a gift and ask that she continue to be their teacher even though she is getting married now. English is being taught to the children. Must go for now. Today is the day I will be here alone. EXCEPT a young student named Aneesha is here at the guest house also. We have plans to eat meals together. I won't be at ERM office until later this week maybe. They are putting in new plumbing for water, toilet, sinks.......all new! As Tamara stated......it's like we get ready for guests too only it's really major! That makes me feel so special! (somewhat a burden too.... but I'm learning it's NO PROBLEM!!) What Love! I tried to Skype home today and decided it maybe too late.....like 1am! Sorry honey! My communicate will improve immensely with this little thingy TIGO AND Emmanuel's cell chip as he leaves today.
Thank you for praying for me.......the Bible class is going wonderfully......the questions they ask are hard ones! I think of what I should have said late into the night sometimes.......Thank you for praying!!
