Departure.

Well today is our last day in Rwanda. I am struggling through it as best I can. For the past three days I have been dreading this day and now it is here. Last night we celebrated everyone's birthday in August, September and October for those going back to school. The babies had cake and Fanta. The older kids had a huge dance party/ fashion show which the muzungos participated in. We were dressed in our traditional Rwandan clothing. Though I wish I could have changed, because these people know how to dance! Everyone was break dancing and I felt like I was at a high school dance party multiplied by 5. We also got a treat of sambosa and Fanta. The party started around 7:30 PM and went to 10:30-ish. Normal bed time is 9:00. I had so much fun. I also was involved in a battle of who is the better dancer, between myself and Diesco, a guy my age . It got intense. Finally we both agreed we were equal in our respective types of dance. He can really break dance! Though he did surrender eventually, but I know that I could never be equal in his style. I am soon going off to worship and will be performing a dance to say goodbye. Keep us in your prayers; today is going to be a very, very hard day for the group. See you soon. SM
