Midway Reflection

Connie ~~~ I am amazed to be in Africa. As a child I heard a missionary speak at church and thought, " I want to do that someday"

Of course life kept me busy with work, family and all the other activities until one day I found myself retired. I tried volunteering in several organizations, and signed on for my first service trip-a medical mission to Nicaragua. After five trips there, I still enjoyed the work. When a chance to go to Rwanda came along I was eager to see the country and find my place on a team.

Since arriving, I have met the midwife and seen two new mamas with whom we shared the layette kits. I toured a local hospital on Monday which I will share about, cleaned and organized in the little clinic here on the compound, helped the teachers and did projects with the kids.

So it seem my "someday" has arrived.
