Little update.... the entire team is sitting in our guest house in Ruhengeri... reminiscing about our day.
Ollie got in HUGE trouble with Diana today as she wandered off after explicit instructions to stay outside our gates of the bakery. I told her I would be following through just like I would with a disobedient child and would post about her irresponsile, DANGEROUS, outlandish choices so her daugthers could pray for me... She convinced someone who could barely speak English...who responds "yes" to everything, to take her on a walk. She got in BIG, BIG trouble.
Sean, on the otherhand, was quite the breadmaker today. He learned how to make mass amounts of bread from scratch. He stayed where he was supposed to be....unlike you know who. He was allowed, because of good behavior, to ride bikes into town with Fabrice (our head baker), to purchase ingredients. He also won Baby Fabrice's heart by teaching him to roll and kick a ball.
Molly learned how to card wool...although the carders were quickly taken away by Alivera after she saw Molly's unskilled talent. Adera tried to show her how to make a basket...and well... it was determined (by Adera) her hands were to delicate to pull the needle. Molly would like everyone to know that she was told she dances as good as Velonica. By the way, I've never seen any of the widows laugh as hard as Velonica did at Sean's awesome attempt in African Dance.
Molly would like everyone to know that Diana and Ollie cleaned the poop out of the wool fleeces today... which was Ollies punishment for wondering off... forced fun. Diana did manage to get one stitch in Adera's basket...but Adera took the basket back because it took her way too long.
We finally had dinner before 8:30 PM but we may or may not have had lunch... thanks to Sean and his Ritz Crackers for saving us until suitable equipment could be located for preparing dinner.
We now have our house fully equipped for preparing meals and sleeping comfortably. Mosquito nets are in place, refrigerator is working and stocked, plumbing is functioning....electricity is on and Ollie promises to be on her BEST behavior. Diana would like disciplinary advice for Ollie... please respond soon.
I hope all of you have enjoyed us laughing at one another... Honestly, everyone is doing great and enjoying our blessed time here with our brothers and sisters in Rwanda.
Love to all-
Diana, Molly, Sean and Ollie

Ollie PROMISED me that she would not wander off!
Mommie you told me you would not wander off. You said you would stay with the group. I don't want someone calling me telling me they can't find you. I'm too young to get grey hair. You stay with the group - you move when they move - you stay when they stay. Now, Little Mama has spoken.

Aw, how exciting! Hearing about the trip makes my soul smile!!! Thank you all for following after God so passionately and going out to do his work, to love on people &share Christ with them.
We are praying for yall in San Marcos &atop Prayer Mt. :)
Well Mother Dear because you chose to not follow the rules and put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation, and caused major concern for your fellow team members, I believe a just disciplinary action would be no more cementery tromping for the remainder of your journey. This is serious stuff, and you are in an area where consequences can be dire!! Not funny . . . LaTreace
I'm eagerly awaiting more pictures and stories. Diana, you are painting some great word-pictures. The image of you all eating Ritz crackers and bustling around getting organized makes me smile.
