Day 22

This Morning was the last church service of our trip. It wasn't far from where were staying. It started at 9am as the usual tradition. They played live music as the congregation came in and it was lovely to see all the children at the front dancing without a care. They looked truly happy. There were three choirs, which sang two songs each. It was then our turn and as our last performance we gave it our all! Fiona led the sermon, which was a change from hearing John and all the other male pastors. They presented us with gifts as a thank you for visiting them and helping and interacting with their children. At the end of the service we all gathered outside to meet the congregation on a more personal level. A number of them thought we could speak Kinyawanda as we had sang two of our songs in Kinyawanda. It was quite emotional leaving as this was our last village we were interacting with. On the afternoon we had a relaxing few hours and packing for our journey back to Kigali.
