Today was a day of saying good-bye to the good friends we love in The Kageyo Parish in Byumba. I gave the kids one of my Bio cards from St. Jude. Promoting St. Jude in Africa!
We met with Pastor Sam to recap the week. I saw,
Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I here for? in Kinyarwandan. How cool is that!?
One last shot...
We had lunch with the sweetest family, the mother is Pastor Sam's children's teacher. The two daughters are simply adorable and will go to Kigali with us this afternoon. They have always wanted to, "come to America," so today they will visit the American Embassy. It is, after all, American soil! They squealed watching all of the hustle and bustle while approaching Kigali. It is VERY different than their Byumba village.
Beautiful flowers picked from their garden ~ they gave each of us some to take with us.
She is one of the few kids I saw with hair! Once she starts school (next year) her head will be shaved; a mandatory part of the school uniform.
Our drive to Kigali was pretty uneventful. We were soooooo excited to go to The Bourbon Cafe for dinner. It's Rwanda's answer to Starbucks and serves Western food (at Western prices) even ice cream!!!!
