Today, as we walked toward the crowd waiting for an advanced hygiene lesson in a village outside of Kigali, I jokingly asked if I could go to the "party" instead. As in... the church meeting next door with the Rwandese people and African beats pouring out of it. Instead, I was escorted to a hole in the ground inside a little wooden structure. As in... the "potty". And now, I know. Thankfully, Phillip explained the misunderstanding, and the town leader knew that I wasn't just rejecting her hospitality. I'm not above it, just didn't need it at the time.
The lesson went well. The people had retained a lot from their previous lesson, and the review portion was a breeze. To build on their knowledge, we explained the oral re-hydration solution - a homemade remedy for diarrhea, a common cause of death in places like this. I am continuously honored that we can serve God and human beings in the simplest of ways. It's a wonderful adventure every day, even when some things are lost in translation (or pronunciation). Thank you for being in it with me.
