Monday Update

On Friday the 19th, Caleb's KICS football (soccer) team had their semi-final game.  They didn't win, but it was an extremely exciting game and they played great!  The team has improved SO much since they started!  The Varsity season is winding down, but the JV team is just starting up.  Caleb will be able to play on the JV team, so he should be able to get some more experience & playing time (The Varsity team is under 18 and the JV team is under 14.  This means that the boys from the younger couple of grades on the Varsity team will move down and become the older couple of grades on the JV team...if that makes any sense!).

Warm-up:

 

The view at that field is absolutely stunning!!

On this past Saturday, we met Mom's language helper, Juliette, at a market to try to find cleats for Caleb.  It went well; we were able to buy Caleb's cleats (new ones, even!) and get a stool for our night guard, Faustin.

The view from outside:

 

When you first go in, there's an open section that is mostly produce:

 

 

And then there's an inside-don't-enter-if-you're-claustrophobic part (where we got the cleats):

After we finished at the market, we went with Juliette to ABC to have pizza for supper (it was umuganda, so no bagels in the morning).  Here's Mom & Juliette while we were waiting:

 

The past couple of weeks we've had a short-term mission team here from the Journey Church.  They spent most of their time in Gisenyi, but they're in Kigali again today & tomorrow before they fly out.  So, they're coming to see our house this morning, and we'll all be going out for supper tonight with them.

 

Just a couple more photos to sign off with:



I know it's blurry, but this is what happens when it suddenly
starts to down-pour.  Everyone heads for shelter!

Enjoying reading on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
