Rwanda, Africa-Day 4

 Our last day in Rwanda was Sunday and I was looking forward to meeting the members of the church so much.  I love traveling, I love sight seeing and trying new foods and having new experiences.  I especially LOVE meeting the people who live in the places that I visit.  I was so excited to talk to some of these awesome people.  

My parents are member support missionaries and help in 3 branches and we were lucky to get to go to all of them.  I don't have many pictures from this day, but it was my favorite (although the safari was a close second).  The meetings were each in multiple languages.  Each of them was translated into English so we knew what was happening, but it was also in Kinyarwandan, Swahili, or French.  
 My parents were so excited the day that they got to put their signs up on the buildings.  It was a big deal.  While we were there, one of the signs was stolen.  They think it was for the metal, but so sad after how long it took to get the sign up!
 These people were incredible.  It was so fun to see how much they love my parents, and my parents love them back.  The people just glowed and had such beautiful, wonderful smiled.  It was fast Sunday and we were able to hear such wonderful, strong testimonies of the Savior.  I was and am still so inspired. 


 I love these gorgeous dresses the women wore!  They were so bright and cheery!

 My parents are such incredible missionaries.  I loved every second of watching them with these people they love so much.  This experience of living in Rwanda has blessed them in so many ways.  I am glad they have had this chance.  
It was so hard to leave Rwanda.  The trip was so fast and I felt like we didn't get enough time (with how long it took to get there and back, we were only in Rwanda 4 days).  I feel so blessed to have had this experience and hope that one day I might go back to Africa.  We loved it so much.
