New Pic's

I have loaded some new pictures onto our Flickr site

I hope you can access them from the web address above. I have also been adding some to our Facebook page but will mainly be using Flickr as it takes to long to put them in both places with our very slow internet connection.
The new pictures are of our new home here on the Rafiki Village in Nyamata, Rwanda. As you will be able to tell we are a long way from being completely settled in but we are very comfortable and praise the Lord for letting us get in before Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I pray you all had a great Christmas season and you all need to thank God for the friends and family you were able to share it with. We were on the village by ourselves this year, as our team-mates went to a lodge on a lake for a few days of R&R. It was the first time either of us had spent a Christmas with no other friends or family around. It was a very low-key day for us, as we thought about all the past years of taking for granted the joy it is to share a Holiday with people you love.
There are also a set of pictures from the Compassion and Sunday School end of year program at the little EPR church just out side our fence. The children looked "very smart" in their new uniforms. This is the group of children we were teaching Sunday School to for the last quarter of the year. It is a great bunch of children and it was a joy to work with them even though we are not sure how much they retained as we were teaching in English and they know very little English. Thanks to a couple from another church who let us borrow a complete Flannel graph set up, we are hoping that some of the Bible stories got through.
The last set is of a girls orphanage Sam and I visited in Rilima Sector. This is an orphanage run by a group of Nuns and they do a great job with these girls. It was a pleasure to visit them (and I promised to bring them some sweeties (candies) on our next trip to thier village).
