The group in the beginning - Oct. 2011

Feb. 2012 - we've grown so much!
Hi all!  I just got back from Bible study - every Thursday I’ve been going to out in a nearby village, Kinigi, to meet with a women’s Bible study.  The group was started by Kortney and Natalie, two missionaries here.  Originally about 8 women came every week, but that number has now grown to around 20.  Kortney and Natalie also work with a group of about 10 women 3-4 times a week at their home.  The women make cards and bracelets, and sew.  This gives them an income doing an activity other than what they would normally be doing, such as breaking rocks into gravel (which is as hard as it sounds, and doesn’t pay much).  Being with the women is such a great experience - their joy is contagious, and a humbling reminder of all that we take for granted.  Plus, the women have the CUTEST kids.  I thought it was well past time to share the love!  (Thank you, Natalie, for the pictures!)
