Doctors

Muraho!

Sorry we've been silent for a few days. Here's what we've been up to:

Vaccinations/Innoculations - lots of shots and prescriptions.

The unexpected: A car accident threw a wrench in my life this week. All involved walked away with only minor injuries. My only injuries are some bruises on my arm and legs, and a bump that's gone down to a bruise on my head. The accident was Wednesday night.

The doctor explained that we'd experience soreness and stiffness over the next few days, and it would get worse before it got better.

He was right. :) The bruises are healing up, but the exhaustion!! Gracious! :) It took me by surprise when I went back to work yesterday - just a 4 hr shift. I thought I'd run a marathon by 3.5 hours (which, if you've been following this blog, clearly I've never done...). The thought of the work yet to be done and the drive home, which stood between me and my bed, brought me to tears. Though perhaps alarmed by my emotion :), my co-workers were very gracious to me.

I suppose a broken leg or more serious injury would have brought some questions to Joy - would she go to Rwanda without me? How would You direct, Lord? But plans go on.

In other news, we had a wonderful visit with our dear friend Laurel this week. She taught us our first phrases in Kinyarwanda and helped us with expectations of the Rwandan culture. We also got our first glimpses, via photos, of Jano and Marcel, friends we'll spend a good deal of time with on our trip. We are so excited! Your input was so encouraging and inspiring - thank you, Laurel!

Imana iguhe umugisha! (God bless you!)
