Hello everyone! This is Lyndsey blogging today. I hope everyone reading this update is preparing for a restful weekend wherever you are. If you have read the previous blogs, you already know that we have had a truly blessed week with all of the ladies and the staff of TVM. If you haven't read them, you should!
Today was a national holiday in Rwanda so the ladies began their long weekend yesterday evening. That meant that the team was able to venture off this morning to see the enchanting Rwandan countryside around us and tour the Sorwathe Tea Factory. There really are no words to describe how amazingly beautiful this country is. Green, everywhere! The flowers, trees, hills, streams, volcanoes in the background, and all of the friendly people made the drive to the tea factory spectacular.
The Sorwathe Tea Factory was a blast! The picture is showing us in our fun outfits we had to put on for our tour. We looked hilarious! The factory was located on top of a hill surrounded by vast tea plantations. It was an incredible view. As we toured the tea factory, the team observed the entire tea process. I think I can speak for everyone, that we have a new appreciation for tea. After our tour, we enjoyed lunch outside overlooking the scenery.
Leaving the tea factory, Diana informed us that we were going somewhere else that was a "surprise". We arrived at the Virunga Lodge. Once again, the view did not disappoint. The team enjoyed some delicious African tea and relaxed while enjoying our surroundings. Altogether, today was a wonderful and peaceful evening in fellowship with one another. God truly is the ultimate Creator.
Tomorrow (Saturday), the team will be going back to the property to continue moving the volcanic rock. For the first team, our time in Musanze is quickly coming to an end. Please continue to pray that all that God intended for us to do here is brought to completion. The people here have stolen a piece of our hearts forever. Thank you for lifting us up at home, your prayers are so important. God is so good and we can see His hands in all that we do each day.
My family and friends reading: I miss and love you so much!
With all our love,
Lyndsey
