Last Days

I can’t believe it! Only two more workdays left before we have to leave Musanze…and they are going to be packed!

The sheep shed is really starting to take shape – truly amazing how hard this team has worked to make it happen! It’s going to be so nice – actually better than a lot of houses here. It will be so great to leave Musanze knowing that our sheep will be have a great place to stay dry and take care of their lambs. I have personally been so blessed to see the many hands that continue to touch this place to make it the beacon in this community that we have prayed for. It has changed so much since 2008 but has also changed so much just this week.

Our two South African rams are making their selves at home on the property and we have finally chosen the appropriate names… Samson and Solomon. They are really beautiful animals but it has been kind of difficult for some of us to bond with them…be sure and ask Jaimy about his relationship with Samson. Can’t wait for our Kenyan ewes to meet them!

We know that in a few months it will be important to have a larger piece of property to keep the majority of our flock on. Today Thomas and Evariste (our shepherd) took Rachel and I a little further outside Musanze to show us a beautiful piece of property they have found that is for sale – 5 times the size of the one we currently own and will build our office on. Only problem is it has no access by vehicle just yet. It is close to the main road so we are praying that one of the landowners between the main road and this property will be willing to sell also. We hope to know something by the time we leave Rwanda. It is very difficult to find large pieces of property here so we are prayerful this will be an option for TVM.

Please do continue to pray for the team as we prepare to complete the shed and head back to Kigali. I am so grateful for all those who prayerfully support this ministry. I wish you could all know the impact it is having on 15 beautiful women and their families.

Blessings,

Diana
