We've made it to Kibogora!

After a long journey through the mountains of Rwanda, we've made it to Kibogora Hospital. I know everybody is glad to be done with the travelling and to have a bed to call their own for the next few weeks. Rwanda really is incredibly beautiful, and I can't wait to explore the area more. Here are some images from the final leg of our journey.

Kigali

Just enjoyed a delicious breakfast of pancakes and fruit salad at the lovely Good News Guest House in Kigali.  We are starting to feel like real people again after a good night's sleep! We have all been so impressed by how clean and beautiful this city is!  We are ready to be at our final destination though.  We will leave for Kibogora this morning by bus.

Just leaving country for 13.5 hour flight . Keith asked, "are we there yet?" ... Im Brushing up on 'eye spy' game!

Safely to DC

God has seen us safely to DC, but as of right now, five or six of us have tickets only to Ethiopia and are on standby for Rwanda. Pray that while we fly these next 13 hours to Addis Ababa, we would have tickets waiting for us to Rwanda. Thanks be to God for seeing us safely here so far and for getting all out luggage to Rwanda!
In Him,
Daniel
