Edouard is Here

So, about a week before we were to leave for Disney World we decided to a host a Rwandan Student for the summer!!! I've always wanted to be a part of the Bridge to Rwanda mission of our church, helping out the people of this African Nation and we finally had the extra space in our home to do just that!! It is amazing how God provided what we needed at just the right time. About a week before the church bulletin ran a message that they needed host families, a friend asked if we had any use for a sleeper sofa. At first I said no, then I decided to take it just in case, and what do you know, God had a plan for that sofa bed all along!! I'm so thankful to have this opportunity to help this young man farther his education, he is already a blessing to our family and has such a kind and thankful spirit! He will live with us until August 6th and take English at UALR and then he will move on to being a full-time college student at a university in the US somewhere. I feel so very blessed to experience and learn about his culture and Kennedy and Caleb are already head over hills for him! Kennedy tells everyone she has a new brother and Caleb ask for him when he is at school. Keep our family in your prayers as we take this journey with Edouard, that his transition to American culture will be a rewarding experience for him without too many hardships and that our family can provide for him the love and support he needs this summer!!!
