Greetings from Aroma's Cafe in Kigali Rwanda!
This is our internet connection point so we are catching up on our life in Africa so far. It is now Sunday evening. What a day.
We got in yesterday at about 4:45 PM and went to Pastor Leo's house. He has a very nice house in a nice neighbourhood. Kigali is very different from Kampala Uganda. It is much cleaner and more progressive, much less corrupt. Both have an amazing future. We enjoyed a good dinner with Pastor and his wife. We got into our room and crawled into our little mosquito net home and had an OK sleep. (Hot and lots of noises around). We jumped out of bed because my cell phone moved ahead an hour so we thought it was 7:17 when it was actually 6:17. We were racing into the kitchen and nobody was there! Church started at 8:00. The first service was French/English so my interpreter translated into French. The Church was about 1/5 full, maybe 400 people. It was great. The second service packed out, about 2100 people, it was amazing. A decent response at the alter and amazing worship (of course, we are in Rwanda) Passionately pursuing the presence. We took Pastor Leo out for lunch to Heaven restaurant (an american owned business) with great american food. We then had a little snooze and headed out to deliver the gifts that were sent from Canada to family in Kigali. We stopped in at a family home and the little kids came running out yelling, "Mazungo's" or (white people) they couldn't believe their good fortune. It was a fun 23 minutes, because we had two young ladies waiting here at Aroma's coffee shop. So that is the day, almost over. Looking forward to the tent again.

Blessings and thanks for the prayers!
