Here are some new friends that are having a big impact on us.
We'd love for you to meet them.
This is Mensye.
He is a precious soul. Mensye founded an organization for orphan children.
He works in a local school.
And he's our language teacher.
He comes over twice a week to teach us Kinyarwanda.
He also plays with our kiddos - always a good time.
Mensye was only 7 during the genocide and lost many of his family members. He's been through a difficult life, but his heart is huge, his smile is infectious, and he gives the glory to God.
And this is Ritah. She is our nanny, cook and house keeper.
We don't know what we'd do without Ritah. She helps keep our household running smoothly and treats our little Presley with gentleness. She has a beautiful 2 year old daughter of her own in Uganda, but she is sacrificing for her family by working in Rwanda. Ritah laughs easily, works hard, has a humble spirit, and is trustworthy. She likes to attend weekly Bible studies, loves Jesus and is fun to be around. She even comes on Saturdays and does some of our shopping. This last week was difficult for Ritah - she came down with Malaria (Don't worry. We think she got it on a recent trip back home.) She handles sickness with such grace! Thanks be to God, she is better now.
