Back on the field. Back home

Back on the field. Back home.

Its been a while. We were 4 months in Europe. Though it was a long time away, we are so happy we where able to  be back home in Norway waiting for the arrival of our little treasure. She is such a beauty (objectively seen of course;)., Everything has gone really well.

We have now been back in Rwanda for about 2 months. Back on the field and back home. Especially with our new little family member, making a home here in Rwanda is important. We are aware that we are not just working here but we are also creating a home and a start for Sophia's. This changes a lot. Especially my role down here. I am primary a mum now and that limits my contribution in the project in some ways, but enlarges it in other ways. It is interesting how easy it is to make contacts with people with a little Muzungu baby (white baby) in your arms . People are so friendly and contact seeking. They really make us feel welcome. Beside opening t up for relationships it also gives me more integrity in the culture. Here are some few pictures of our daily life right now.

We got a car!

Hm...still dont like this:)

As for the project, am I happy to share that our first building is soon up. While we were gone all the papers got accepted and we could start making the foundation of the health center/office building. The last month Christian has been a part of building. I have attached a little video of the building process. We will not be able to finish everything yet, as we still are in need of the needed funds to finish the whole building. But we think we will be able to finish the office rooms so we can have a meeting place and also do work from there. Then we can, as money comes in, finish one room at the time.

Naa har taket ogsaa blitt lagt:)

It is also great to see that our garden is growing. We now got 10 new piglets. 
We are also working together with some local entrepreneurs and farmers that also would like to try out our method of raising the pigs in mobile fences to get the benefit of the fertilization of the land. Cause it works really well:)

We (or mainly Amiss) have also started 2 support groups for vulnerable women in the community. These groups are meant to create a place where those people that have fallen out of society can have a place to come together for fellowship and get support from each other. Helping each other financially, emotionally, spiritually and socially.  emotionally, spiritually. We want to help facilitate that as well as possible through teaching, question asking, encouragement and guidance. Amiss is doing such an good job here.

More info on the project in January.

Now first thing is Christmas:) Want to greet you with this one verse from the old Christmas hymn “Oh come oh come Emanuel”. May the king of Peace be among you in your homes and in this world full of conflicts. He is much needed!

Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind 

In one the hearts of all mankind; 

Oh, bid our sad divisions cease, 

And be yourself our King of Peace. 

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 

Shall come to you, O Israel!

Merry Christmas to you all!
