I would never think I have a chance to go to Rwanda. There were so many things
bother me right before the trip. Firstly, my dad got in some kind of trouble during
my finals. Secondly, I was waiting the offers from school. Those things make me feel
hopeless, lack of peace and lonely. At that time I was so afraid to face my situation
and deal with my problems. However, God brought me there.
In Rwanda, the most important thing I have learned is to focus on the bigger picture
from God’s plan. On the second day of the trip, we were supposed to meet up with
the street kids to play soccer with them, but somehow the field that we planned
to go was occupied. Also one of us wallet got stolen from the local people, and
his passport was in it. All these obstacles, we will directly think evil is behind it.
However, i have learned that sometimes in our life these hardships and difficulties
will lead us to God’s ultimate great plan.
Eventually, We got another field for the streets kids, and one of them got us back the
wallet. Moreover, Praise told us the story about the street kid who got us back the
wallet. Praise said he used to be a kid who would not help us to get back the wallet.
Instead of not helping us, he was saying that “ No matter what ill get the wallet
back.” What I mean is without all these obstacles we will not see the change of these
kids. I always heard people saying” don’t worry! Focus on the bigger picture!” Now I
finally understand that.
On the other hand, I am so glad that God give me an opportunity to be able to
meet all my wonderful teammates. I totally enjoy the time when we hung out
in Rwanda. More importantly, we share some much special things. Like the life
style in Rwanda. Also the things we share everyday during devotion. I have to say
I love you guys so much. I hope I can go back to Rwanda with you guys next year.
