Our Summer

We have been having a fun and busy summer. Dave spent two weeks in Congo and Burundi with the Saltshaker team. The kids have been having daily language lessons and occasional tennis and swimming.

We just returned from a 10 day missionary retreat at Kumbya. Dave was leading it this year, we had 100 missionaries from Burundi and Rwanda. It was a really good time for all of us, good worship, good teaching and good times of fun and rest. Dave and I had less rest since he was leading the retreat, and I'm leading the effort of ongoing development of the Kumbya property. In any case, it was the highlight of the kids summer, as usual.

In just two days we are headed of to Uganda for a time of vacation. We haven't gone there for vacation in about 9 years. We are going to climb a mountain, camp, stay on an island, do a family river rafting, and spend some time with David's cousin Karina, her new husband Andy, and their new baby boy David. We are looking forward to getting away from the normal hustle of life in Kigali!

So...we'll be back in two weeks, getting ready for Breanna to go back to boarding school, and our other three to start their school too.
