Another Precious Sister...Christine

Here is my precious and beautiful sister, Christine. She is gentle and sweet and she has such a hunger to know God. What a blessing it was to get to know her. She loves to sing and dance and read God's Word. I learned so much from her including traditional Rwandan dance (well at least I tried to learn!)

"Ndashaka gufusha!" It means "I want to help." This was a common phrase that Christine and I exchanged often. I said it to her one day as she was doing the dishes and she almost fell over laughing. I guess it was not what she expected me to say? Anyway we have been saying it ever since. Even now when I call to talk to the kids on the phone, it is the first thing she says to me after "I Love you and I miss you."

I will never forget the way we clung to eachother and wept as we said goodbye. She just kept repeating over and over "thank you for accepting to be my sister!" Christine, someday soon we will hug again and probably cry again but this time not with sadness!
