Just a quick note today to let you know we have arrived safe and sound in Kigeme, Rwanda. After leaving our guest house in Nairobi at 4:45 am, everything went very smoothly. Fantastic really! We had to pay $150 for extra luggage, but that was way less than we thought, so we were happy!
The flight was just over an hour. We were greeting at the airport by Francis from the Kigeme Diocese, as well as Eugene, a representative from Compassion Rwanda with my sponsored Compassion child, Placide. We were able to sit and chat for awhile while Francis was arranging transportation. Placide is 18 years old now!!!
After changing money in downtown Kigali, we headed out in a mini but for the three hour drive to Kigeme. When we arrived we were greeted by a group of people singing us welcome songs - very nice!!! It has been wonderful seeing our Rwandan friends and we look forward to seeing more in our 2 weeks here.
Tomorrow - Youth Camp!!
