In the cases of my friends, husband, and myself, it has always been the families back home who have worried more than the travelers themselves about venturing abroad. Inevitably I think this will stay true, but I hope that at least through viewing this blog you can worry less and maybe even smile and laugh. You know we will!! You can expect some good stories, a few pictures, and maybe even some video for the three weeks we'll be in Rwanda. So make sure you don't miss it! As always keep the team and the Thomas family (the missionaries we will be staying with) in your prayers and thoughts. You will be in ours.
Below is a synopsis of the who and what of this trip:
