I cannot believe we will be leaving in 11 days! This weekend I plan to finish all of my school work...so I can't believe I will be done with my Master's THIS WEEKEND!
I am still very busy with work at Azizi Life...wrapping projects up, preparing how-to guides for my departure...and trying not to be sad. To be truthful, I am such a ball of mixed emotions. I want to be home with my family so badly...I want to be with our church in Wickes already...but I also want to cherish each moment I have left here in Rwanda...
And watching Christmas movies makes it worse...
I also think Jon and I have been experiencing random culture shock moments that make us feel like we just want to explode...no hot water....grasshoppers...no Taco Bell...it's the little things really...it makes me feel really silly to be upset about it all...
But in all of this, I have to say that God has delivered. We have had calming peace at just the right moments, focus and motivation to not feel stressed about deadlines, and glimpses of home right here, were we are.
God is good. God is gracious. God is loving.
Much love,
Emily Elizabeth
it's times like these that I pull out the Jon Foreman
"No Taco Bell" sounds like a blessing.
ReplyDelete:)
I would agree
ReplyDeletei can imagine the emotions you are feeling. we will be praying for you and jon. side note: getting in the christmas spirit in a foreign land is hard! we bought Elf the other day at the market so i'm excited for that :)
ReplyDeletetrue that! I guess it's because Christmas marketing isn't being shoved down our throat every 5 seconds like it is in the States...annnnd I miss that
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to you guys coming home, one more weekend in Rwanda what are your plans?
