On Friday we were up extremely early, 3am, to get ready to leave for the airport! Our driver came and picked us up (with a second vehicle for all the luggage) at 4 and off to the Nairobi Airport. We waited in numerous lines; to get into the airport, to check our luggage, to get through customs and then we were able to sit and relax a bit with coffee! Our flight to Kigali, Rwanda was short and very smooth!
We came out of the airport and were met by Pst Dr. Felicien and our old friend and driver, Ezekias, what a treat!! After a stop for tea and to exchange some money, we were off on the drive to Kigeme! The drive was about 3.5 hours - the distance is not that huge, but the highway can be hilly and we got stuck behind a number of trucks who would have to slow right down on the hills! Our driver was fantastic and we arrived safely!
We have been given a house to stay in for the time we are here - it is actually the place Carolyn stayed in her very first time visiting the area back in 2005! When we arrived there was no water or power, apparently lines were cut due to the road construction. But there was some scrambling, and by the time we went to bed we had both! We certainly are well looked after here! We also had lunch served for us and the team from here so we could do some catching up.

 Alayne and Mary, who is looking after us! |  |
We spent a bit of time in the afternoon sorting our stuff and getting organized for the next three weeks, then had a small walk around and connected with other friends.
We also scouted around the grounds to find a spot for pull ups! We were successful - on the door between our house and the Bishop's! And the Bishop showed us how good he is at pull ups!

Carolyn is trying, Bradley!
