Muraho!!
Today was a tough day. I cannot drink or sell coffee the way I used to. Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee (www.drinkcoffeedogood.com) is grown in an area stricken by severe poverty and despite high altitude sickness today my heart rejoices and breaks - rejoices for God in being used to share this with others and breaks because of their living conditions. We prayed tonight about gratitude in our lives and read Colossians 3:15-4:1. Their joy of the Lord radiates.
The soccer field that was dug out two months ago is now landscaped. Goal: teach new coffee growers the business, teach soccer and share the Gospel at the same time. I was asked to give speech at the end of our tour; as coffee ambassador, had few tears streaming down my cheeks as I shared as primitive as their surroundings are, they are just as professional as what we have here in the western world. Got to ride a bicyle that is used to transport coffee beans. Riding the bumpy and rocky sand roads was an adventure. The local children like to hop on the back of the bikes; however, if you don't know they are there, you can topple over, which I did and which there are no pictures to share that wonderful scene.
We are tired and have heavy hearts tonight for all that we did, saw and thought about through Colossians 3:15-4:1.
Have lots of activities tomorrow and will continue the coffee story in Part II.
God's blessings to each of you, and thank you so much for your prayers.
