Still 45 days before I leave for Rwanda, but I feel like the adventure is already beginning. Last Thursday I went to the travel clinic and got 6 shots at once! Me… the girl who used to pass out after shots (I mean vaccinations, not tequila) in school! I wore my 6 little spot bandaids with pride that day. I still smile when I see the one little bruise that’s left over.
Joanna, the rep from World Vision who will be leading us in Rwanda, is currently there right now with another group. Yesterday, someone passed her blog onto me, and she just posted the funniest, most suspenseful story I’ve ever read about the group’s near-death-by-elephant experience this Sunday. I’m going to ask her permission to put it up here, because it’s just too good!
Aside from all my shots and crazy elephant stories, I have seen a nine year old Canadian girl get excited about sponsorship and give up some of her allowance, and a six year old spend an entire week putting pencil and sticker sets together for the little girls in Rwanda. I’ve seen the money I need for this trip pop out of nowhere (God is amazing). A woman at my church got busy knitting little dolls for me to bring before the trip was even confirmed and I wouldn’t be surprised if she finishes 100 of them before I leave. So many other cool things have happened, and right now I’m just excited to see what’s going to happen next!
