This is always the day that we dread when we come to Rwanda- saying good bye to our friends who are truly our family. It was a bitter sweet day. 

We started the day doing a work out in the house as it was pouring rain!! This is the most rain we have seen in the dry season in all the years we have traveled there. This is good news for the farmers and for the Milk Collection Centre! The Milk Collection Centre has had to get their water from the valleys far below which is taxing and time consuming. God bless that rain!

We had a lovely breakfast with Dr. Felicien who joined us. We had a good conversation about the future of the Food Security Program and of the Rwandan people. We were all filled with hope and excitement.

After that we packed our bags and visited with people who came to say goodbye. We had a quick lunch and, after a sad goodbye, left with Dr. Viateur, Chretien and our driver, Prosper.
It was a lovely drive up to Kigali and we stopped on the way to visit the retired Bishop Augustin and Mrs Bishop. The Bishop was not there but we sent a lovely time with Mrs Bishop and had a tour of their new house!

We arrived in Kigali by 6:30 and, after more tearful goodbyes, we settled in at the guest house. To bed early as we had to be to the airport for 6am.
​
Currently, we are writing this blog entry in the Kigali International Airport awaiting our flight to Nairobi where we start our new adventure.

Thank you to all our wonderful Rwandan family. Even though we may be physically apart from you, you are always in our thoughts and prayers!!  God bless you all!

The record of progress in Rwanda is a testament to the impact of the support you are providing! All those supporting K for K and the Udder project take a bow!!!
