Stuck in Rwanda

Today I am stuck in Rwanda. A few days ago I noticed my credit card stopped working, so I called them up and they asked if I had any plans to go to France. I said no. Someone had stolen my card information and tried to buy a train ticket in France. They then told me that they were going to go ahead and cancel my card. My heart sunk. But then he assured me that they could overnight my card to Rwanda. So I have just been relaxing and reading some books for the past few days. But then today I got a call from my dad telling me they sent my card to the local bank branch in the states. So I called the credit card people again, and was pretty much told sorry, not our problem. I told them, yes this is your problem, but they don't seem to think so. Not entirely sure what the next step will be. I am hoping that the local branch in the states can maybe mail it to Rwanda? If not there is always western union, but that still only solves the short term problem.

But there is reason to be thankful. All of the places I stayed in Tanzania were very cheap. Like pay in advance, in cash, kind of cheap. That makes it sound like I was staying at ladies-of-the-night kind of places, they weren't, just cheap hostels. (but very safe mom and sue). The place I am at now isn't super nice, but nice enough that I pay when I check out.

I am hopeful that everything will work out, but I would really appreciate some prayers!
