Basketball and other minor victories

Today, I tutored Sr. Yvonne in computers for an hour in the morning.  She is a warm, smiling woman with a big sense of humor, and it is fun to sit with her and play around with the silly features of Word, like clip art and fancy fonts.  “I am a big happy dog,” she typed, just to create some text on the page.  Ever since then, Andrew has started referring to her as “the big happy dog.” 
Andrew and Nathan went to Kigali for most of the day with Sr. J. and Sr. Constance, where they visited all kinds of paper stores to get materials for their projects.
In the afternoon, I watched and played along a little with Bienvenue and Valens on the keyboard.  They are both extremely musical and really got into some praise music they were doing.  Laura giggled at the faces Bienvenue made as he sang and played. 
Then was the faculty-student basketball game.  The girls had challenged the faculty to a showdown.  With me, Laura, Bienvenue, and Valens, we were short a player, so we borrowed Amelie from the students.  Laura was great and Bienbien and Val were wonderful.  The girls swooned as Bienvenu ran up and down the court like Michael Jordan, tall and lean and fast.  I tired out fast and scored only once thw whole game, but thanks to MJ, we won!
