We've been back for close to a month now, however Rwanda is never far from our thoughts as a family. For example, we've measure time by how long it's been since we went or returned from Africa. We look at our actions and relate them to how we'd feel about them if we were back in Rwanda. We look at our home and feel so grateful to be blessed with children in our home, a loving family, a great neighborhood, wonderful teachers and incredible relationships.
Yesterday Eric and I had the opportunity to present a 1/2 hour look at our Missions Trip to Rwanda to a retired organization of Marines down on Camp Pendleton. We both felt electric with excitement, knowledge and opportunity in this presentation. It was incredible to share this experience with my husband and children, and then share the podium with them to present what we learned to others.
I keep coming back to this thought... the most important thing I learned was the importance of "Showing Up." Words don't have to be understood completely. The simple act of showing up for another person (or group) speaks volumes to how important you make the other person feel.
We're hoping to have other opportunities soon to present our information and once again feel the Holy Spirit move through us to our audience.
Thanks for keeping up with our family & have a wonderful week!

PS - Thank you so much to everyone who has emailed and posted on this blog regarding the video. I truly appreciate the kind words you've shared.
PPS - My little softball team had a season-ending party yesterday too, and I love signed team picture, candid pictures in a frame, Starbucks gift card, and encouraging words too. I'm looking forward to coaching again next year!
