Arrival and Great Beginning in Rwanda

4/18/2015

Spencer and Kiersten DeLong flew out of Chicago early Thursday morning and met me (Frank) in Toronto. The three of us boarded our second flight of the day and sat for two hours because of a problem with ground control. By the afternoon on Friday (Rwandan time – six hours later than EDST) we had landed in Kigali, connected with Theophile and were moving into our “Rwandan home” for the next several weeks. Yes, we were both excited and exhausted; to meet new friends, to meet old friends, to take in a new culture, to experience the new changes since my last trip, but ready for bed after being up for thirty plus hours.

Saturday (today) was our first morning in Rwanda. After the delights of a Rwandan breakfast (Rwandan coffee, fresh bread with Rwandan honey, fresh bananas, and fresh pineapple) we were off to the Genocide Memorial in Kigali for the morning, the Bourbon Café for lunch, and then the memorial in Nyamata for the afternoon (I will let Spencer and Kiersten share that experience later). Our evening was spent enjoying more of Rwanda’s special diet (brochettes, Sambusa, and chips), reflections about the genocide, and discussing the next two weeks.

In short, God blessed our first full day in Rwanda.
