20 hours on planes and ...

I;m here!!! Yesterday, I arrived in Bujumbura, Burundi. Suzanne was ready and waiting for me at the airport.

Sadly, the internet connection at Suzanne and Artemons house is not working right now and the timeline to have is fixed is very indefinite. I am unable to update as much as I would like. I;m at an internet cafe right now, but am unsure how often I will be able to do this. Suzanne fully understood the need to send my mom an "Im alive" email.

So far I have been able to meet many people, experience culture, rest, journal, and observe everything around me.

Vague terms, yes I know. I will have more details as time passes.

Love to you all!!

less than a week

Dearest friends and family,

In Kurundi, the native language of Burundi, "umugisha" means "blessing." I have chosen this as the theme for my trip and the ambiguity in that word is no mistake. I trust God that through being challenged and stretched, and teaching and learning, his blessings and providence will be evident.
Thank you so much for your support, prayers, encouragement, and words of wisdom. I will try to update as much as possible!
