Did you know?

That a gallon of gas in Rwanda costs $5.57 per gallon and milk costs $7.34 per gallon?

I didn't either. Plus their earning power and capability isn't as strong as ours. They are land locked, and most of their imports come in through Kenya. Have you heard of them lately? There's a lot of political stuff happening in Kenya, so that's driving up the import costs.

All this to say, that we can become so insulated in what's so hard about our lives, and the way our economy is going. It's important to pay attention to that, but it's also important to note that we're not the end all be all of the world, and if we can't have cable, or those new cd's we want, or whatever to make sure we can have gas to drive to and from work it will be ok.

I don't know how I keep finding these foreign missionary blogs, but now I want to move to Rwanda dangit.
