December Burundi Trip

While in Burundi we were able to see many friends.

Media worked with me at the King’s School as an assistant in the Kindergarten class. She was always so sweet to me while we worked together. She was on maternity leave having her second baby. We were able to visit her at the hospital and give her one of the Something Deeper Ministries Quilting Group’s quilts. She was so happy to see us and receive a gift for the baby.

While living in Burundi we had a night guard who slept under a few sheets. We were so happy to be able to take a quilt to him. He was so happy that he ran away clutching the quilt. I was confused until Isaac explained that someone offered to “keep it for him”. He was protecting his new gift.

Hope Africa University had graduation while we were in Burundi. It was great being able to see many friends finally get their degrees after four long years of undergraduate work.

It is not possible for me and Isaac to visit HAU without eating some rice and beans at the school cafeteria. It was a great time to chat with friends we hadn’t seen in six months.
