Today we travelled an hour and a half on some very rough Rwandan roads with gorgeous Rwandan scenery to join 3000 of our Rwandan friends at the dedication of Taba Parish. It was an amazing service led by our Bishop Assiel along with a number of leaders in the Kigeme Diocese. It also included the confirmation of about 40 people which was cool to witness. From start to finish the whole thing was a little over 5 hours. To the Rwandans this is normal. But, we must admit, that we were a bit tired and sore from sitting after the service. Afterwards we were treated to a wonderful lunch. We were amazed at the organization to feed quite a few people (not 3000, but we would guess 200).
We met with many old friends whom we had not seen in awhile. It was so lovely to see them.
We then made the trek back to Kigeme. It was a long but wonderful day with many new memories created.

Tonight it will be an early night as we are pretty beat.
Tomorrow we will meet with the paravets in the morning and APAP committee in the afternoon. All will be held in Kigeme so we will not need to travel far!!
