Rwanda, Rwanda!

We are here!! Finally! It has been a whirlwind of travel since we left, but praise God he has guided us here safely AND our bags have arrived! Katy and I are doing well, both a bit tired though adjusting much better to things today. We just walked about 4 miles from our home in Kigali to this internet cafe', mostly uphill---OH MY GOSH!! I thought I might pass out. I am wringing wet from sweating! Oh Africa! I am well on my way to becoming Rwandese!
Since we arrived we have seen many of our friends, in fact the first face I saw besides our sweet Esron, was Sarah at the Ligue! She and her husband Sylvan treated us to pizza the night before last at Sole Luna, our favorite in Kigali. We were able to visit with them both about their mission with Anchor of Hope, they have been here since mid April and have made great progress. And, as we were sitting there talking about our friend Pastor Andre, he and Alivera walked up! It was really exciting. We also met a new friend Joe, who is from Germany and is working with the street kids through the Ligue. We als0 able to see Mary and met her beutiful daughter. I have missed everyone so much! I also got to see Michel yesterday too, it was so good to see his face again.
Katy and I are joyful to report also that we after we visited the DORCUS project (a sort of business for widows where they sew, grow plants for landscaping, cook, etc. for income that our friend Andre's church sponsors) we are pretty sure we have scheduled a bible study with these ladies on Fridays at 12. I felt great to make progress there! We are really excited...Kathleen will possibly help us translate the lessons, so that is really good for us and the ladies.

I want to write more, there is SO much more to say but I have 2 minutes left on the internet, agg! Love and miss you all!
