I am now in London at Gatwick airport. I thought my bags would be checked all the way through to Rwanda, but no such luck. Instead of going into London today I am spending the day at Gatwick. It has been great actually. They announced a chapel service right after I got here and the chaplain, Robin, invited us to the Bible study they have here every Thursday at 1:00. If you ever happen to be here on a Thursday look for him or Steve or Jonathan. I now have a new group praying for Muhura, GFR and myself. At the service I also met Kirsten from New York. She is returning from a mission trip to Berlin.
Thank you Kristin for your comment. I love you so and miss you so. Give Erik a big hug from me and tell him I love him and miss him too. I sent you each a card from London. Give TJ and Isis hugs from me too.
Thank you all my friends again for your prayers and support. I will soon be on the plane to Addis Ababa and by 5 AM Texas time Friday I will be in Kigali.
Love and God's blessings to you all!!

Hi Kirsten! We are all so happy you have had a nice trip so far, and I am sure it will continue to be great. It' already lonely here at Wells Fargo without our favorite Norwegian Loan Officer! Keep up the good blogging updates, it helps us feel like we are a part of your trip! As always, our prayers are with you and your village. Let us know if you need anything, maybe DHL can get it there overnight! Type to you soon,
Jim and the gang.

Dearest Kirsten! I just saw you yesterday in Rwanda. I am so glad you arrived safely. I know your children will be glad to hear you are doing well. Meeting Pastor Elson was great. He is a Godly man. Rest up and I look forward to hearing more about your adventures. See you soon!

Hi Kirsten,

We were all very relieved to hear that you made it safe and sound.
It takes a lot of courage to do what you're doing. Be that beacon of light in a part of the world that so desperately needs it. We're praying for you and your fellow villagers every night.

It occurred to us after seeing you Wednesday night that upon your return you may want to take a little hiatus from Italian food...hee hee!!Whatever the cuisine may be, we look very much forward to it.

Love,

DJ/Zachary/Marc

Kirsten I am so glad to hear you made it safely to your destination. I have sent your blog onto Mrs. Lamkin and Mrs. Church, so they could follow your journey. You are an inspiration, and we are praying that all goes well. May God Bless you and those you encounter.
