Day 1
4 hours sleep later and 3 missed alarms, “here's Johnny” came banging at the door telling us we were late for breakfast! Malaria pills taken we hopped into the mini bus and traveled to a church in Kigali. Having reserved seating at the front of the church, we were invited to take part in the service, singing and dancing along with them! They had 2 large choirs singing in Kinyawanda with live musicians. The songs and prayers were translated for us by Anastace. The church leaders welcomed new members to their church and there was a blessing of new born babies.
After our 3 hours service we had the chance to meet the local people who were friendly and welcoming. The children were wanting pictures with us, our water bottles and one took a fancy to Ruth, one of our group members, holding hands with her in our prayer. We then got invited to share in communion where we participated and received bread and wine.
We returned to the guest house to sort out our suitcases and the missing ones had been collected! A relief for those who had no clothes! We had chance to shower, relax and catch up on sleep before we were went to dinner! 3 courses! Soup for starters, beef, chips and spaghetti for main and a very juicy pineapple for pudding!
