Today was another fantastic day!! A slower start which gave us a chance to get some stuff done here at the guesthouse. Then a church service - it was National Children's Day, so all services were run by children! From the person running the service,to choirs and Sunday School classes reciting what their learning. A very young girl gave the sermon-without even looking at her notes! (we are talking 14 or younger) !!! It was fantastic!!!! We didn't take a camera, unfortunately, so you will have to take our word for how fantastic it was! It was a three hour service.
We came back to our guesthouse and had lunch, got a few more things accomplished, then we headed up to 'downtown Kigeme' to find 'our people' to do some APAP farm visits. We went to four different farms!

Before heading out in the afternoon, we armed ourselves with more of the bracelets made by Hannah Wing and Sebastien and Edith Dubois! We gave some out to our friends and some of the farmers we visited.
After church this morning Rachael was delightfully surprised by 'her boy' Jean Bosco, a young man we befriended pretty much from day 1. We had heard he was working in Kigali, but obviously he got word we were here and came to visit! He sought Rachael out before going to see his mom!! A great young man. He, as well as Joseph, another young man who has grown up with us and whom Carolyn supports in secondary, joined us on our walk!
Another surprise was running into a young lady we met years ago. She used to be in leadership in the orphan's group we used to meet with regularly. She introduced us to her husband and her 4 month old baby. The surprise came when Carolyn found out the baby was named after her, a humbling experience - wow!
