Finally in Gitarama!

Well, I arrived in Rwanda finally. JP, Theresa, and Val were all at the airport to greet me with huge hugs. It is soooo good to be here! It looks so familar, from last year. We drove past where we stayed last summer and we also visited the "Muzungu Mall" for some ice cream. We went in to Kigali and got cash exchanged for me. We then headed to Gitarama. The house we are staying in is perfect. It is lined along the road, filled with lots of activities - shops, other houses, and streetkids. This breaks my heart! We didn't spend much time on the street yet, but will starting tomorrow. The house is large and will be a great base for us to live at. We will be visiting the boys tomorrow and I am so excited! I am a bit wiped now, so I am looking for a good nite sleep. Oh, and another thing - I have my own bedroom, which is great. Lots of time for me to spend with God and processing through this amazing journey I am on. Ok, that's all the energy I have for now. Gotta head home for dinner and sleep for tomorrow :)
