Stephen’s Travels

Hello Everyone,

First off I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for our team. After about 24 hours in the air we made it safely to Kigali, Rwanda (the capitol). Please keep us in prayer because we are going to need it once we get into the classroom.

The journey has consisted of one 11 hour flight, one 9 hour flight, one 1 hour flight and layovers up to 5 hours. The flights were very good and I was able to get some rest, though I cannot say the same for everyone.

When we landed in Kigali, we were greeted by some fairly warm weather and a bit of humidity, but as of right now (about 8am) the weather is very nice. Hopefully we will experience the same on our travel to Butare later today, which is about 2 hours south by bus.

Yesterday, we made our way to the Kigali Memorial Center which remembers the victims of the genocide from the city. Though I was tired, the displays and entire center was very powerful and on par with the Holocaust memorials I visited 2 summers ago.

I am unsure of when I will have internet again, but hopefully I will be able to get several updates fro, Butare. I do know that I will not be uploading any pictures until I get back, so do not wait up for them.

Breakfast time, so I must be off.

Goodbye for now and God Bless.

-Stephen
