As usual God is good. We had another satisfying day being of use to God here in Rwanda.  I heard from the Lisa and Christina that they had a great time with the 10 mid-wives they trained today. All the ladies showed up early, were very eager, and asked many questions.  I understand that Christian gave birth 11 times...10 mid-wives, 11 births, must have had twins!  Afterwords that got to visit in the homes of several of the ladies and meet their families.  They were very pleased. 

Here in the Kigali area (we have actually been teaching in Masaka) it was another day of challenges.  I completed Romans 1-11 today and then Tom marched into 1 Corinthians.  As always they are full of questions.  Here are a few examples: Why would God harden Pharoah's heart?  Why did God hate Esau and love Jacob? Who did Adam's sons marry and where did they come from?  What do you do with a person who comes to faith in Christ who already has two wives? Should you baptize in the name of Jesus or in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Can a Christian lose their salvation?  If a Christian dies while they are in sin, do they go to heaven? Should they let a woman who would gets pregnant outside of marriage stay in the church or should they kick her out and never let her back in?  Why don't we worship on the Sabbath?  What laws do Christians have to keep to keep their salvation?    And some other easy ones like that. No wonder were are tired at the end of the day!

Keep up the prayers!
