Got my bags!!
So as a continuation, and hopefully an end, to my luggage saga I finally was able to go pick up my bags at the Kigali airport yesterday! My dad went to the Brussels airport and talked it over wth the British Airways manager there. He finally admitted that because of the partnership between british airways and SN brussels airways, no one was taking responsibility, so he just decided to fix it and sent the bags on the next SN flight from Brussels to Kigali. SO praise God!! Imana Ishimwe!
In the mean time here in Rwanda everything is going great! Yesterday we went on a city tour, so we learned a lot about Kigali and Rwanda. Rusty and I had already done this tour last year, but we still learned more this year and had fun. We also got to know the guides pretty well and learned a lot of cultural things from them. Their names were norbert and Junior and tehir English was really good. Today the four of us who are staying at the Episcopalean guesthouse went to church there, sort of out of 'social obligation', but also because it was easiest. That was very interesting. they were having a special women's day where their women's fellowship led everything. They invited one of their muzungu (white) members to speak: a woman from Zeist, nederland, named Yzette Verwiz, i think. We also stayed a little longer for most of the Rwandan service after that.
Tonight we had the Bible study that the Jenkins have been having at their house. We had a very good sized group! i was amazed! I think there were about 10 rwandans. One was Patrick, a professor at the university I worked with last year and will be working at again this year. Rusty and I taught his class last year.
After we finished the biblestudy we still visited for a while. I talked with a man named Charles for a long time. We talked about a lot of things and learned a lot about language (Kinyarwandan) and how things work here with three languages and education and stuff. He also asked questions about christianity in europe and the States and he told me about christianity in Rwanda.
well, thats all for now.
Praise the Lord!
Imana Ishimwe!
