Caribou! (Welcome in Swahili!)

So this marks week one day and five more to go for Rwanda team! It has been an amazing week here in the city of Kigali! This was our first true experience with African culture because we did a lot of things the African way.

Firsts....
- washing clothes by hand in Africa with a little bucket
- going WITHOUT a shower for 4 days because we did not have water :)
- power went off for several hours
- POOP in 5 days!
- AFRICAN BATHROOM...we would probably call it a deep ditch with a long drop with a couple of stitchs around it! In the middle of everything!
- SARAH MARIE PENCE peeded in the bush! I was so proud of her!
- motion sickness on the bus
- church service, which lasted 4 and 1/2 hours (AMAZING)
- hostel stay with spiders

so those are a few firsts for me but it was all worth it!

The week has been amazing and gone by quickly looking back on it now but it went a little slow to begin with!
