What are we doing and how can you help?

A few quick details... We'll be there approx. 7 weeks. We'll teach at an elementary school in the mornings and lead women's Bible studies in the afternoons. The weekends will be committed to follow-up visits to children and villages we've met before and to planning and preparation.
(Katy's words...much more eloquent than mine! )

We have come up with some more creative ways ya'll can be a part of our trip!
Anything that is light that we could take would be fabulous.
For example:
- a CD player with batteries for teaching that we could leave there
-a Kinyarwandan Bible costs $5 and we give them to churches over there
-things for recess: they love soccer balls, maybe some of those deflated with a pump and extra needles, jump ropes...
-they don't use a lot of school supplies other than basic pencils and notebooks, but we could take a few of those things
-maybe whistles to get kids attention.
-clothes (things I could wear on the trip and leave with women we meet)
-a small (or 2) paper Bible for me to use while I'm there and leave with someone
-necessities- ex)hand sanitizer... (things that we'll have to buy before we leave)
These are just a few ways and most of all PRAYER is needed!

Got the tickets!

Just a few days ago it became official! Katy and I are going...no doubts about it. We have round trip tickets to Rwanda in our possesion...no backin' out now! I am overjoyed to be going, I have been saying to everyone that in my mind I have already left. I think about waking up to those crazy loud birds, sleeping on that paper thin mattress and taking nice cold showers at the Ligue, then the GREAT stuff...seeing Esron, Michel, Immanuel, the kids, Sarah and Sylvain, Linda...so many more. Ahhh...nothing like it really. ;) We are both so ready...speaking for myself though, that is only in my mind! I feel like there is SO much to do between now and June 2nd (that's when we leave, then we return July 23rd). We have 3 1/2 more weeks at TWCA, I have 2 more weeks of class at DTS (a huge paper due and a final), and I have so much to start thinking about as far as what to take, who needs what, how we are going to work things out financially, AGGG!! My brain is on overload...BUT God has made the way and I cannot wait to be there.
