(Matthew 6:14-15) 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Evil has arrived.

Hatred is erupting in Rwanda. There is a group of men called the Interahamwe. They walk around the village holding machetes. One time I was on the bus with my boyfriend when a group of the brightly dressed men mugged a lady walking home. They took her clothes and all of her possessions. I was haunted. I wanted to help the lady. She did not deserve that kind of humiliation. Some months later I was on the bus on my way to a wedding, and out of the blue our bus stopped. I did not know what was going on. I looked out the window and all I saw were bright colors running around our bus. Then I looked closer, it is the Interahamwe. Everyone on the bus was scared. I on the other hand was angry. Why should I have to let these devils control me? I had had enough; I got out of the bus and was instantly surrounded by the dangerous men. They asked for my identity card. I showed my information to the men. My courage and straight forwardness puzzled the men. After this incident, I had a feeling that disaster, danger and death were in many people’s future.
