The whole entire time that I have been here in Rwanda has been a wonderful time in being able to help out with the community, experience a new culture, and meet fantastic people. With this being a mission trip, God has been working in my life (of course) and has been showing me things that I would not have ever noticed back in the States.

One thing that amazes me about Sharel is her generous spirit. She gave me a pair of shorts just because I needed some for that day. She randomly says she loves everybody, and she is full of powerful and insightful words for any conversation. I love her dearly, and I am learning so much from...
