Tuesday

Transfer day. The morning was spent tying up loose ends in Byumba and settling our accounts with the diocesan centre. Then, after lunch, a car arrived from Gasabo diocese to take us down to Kigali. Whilst the car had enough seats for all of us, it did not have enough room for all our bags as well. After a bit of re-organisation and with bags and people sharing the same seat, we managed to squash in and were on our way. Placide, who had hoped to travel with us, had to take a bus to Kigali instead.

The journey to Gasabo diocese was uneventful and we arrived at the SU Guest House mid-afternoon. We were met by Eric (first time), Daniel (again) and Edmund (first time) - all young men with energy and enthusiasm.

Our accommodation is very good and even better for Jim and Valerie who got an upgrade to a huge room with an emperor-sized bed to match. 

After a walk we came across a pizza parlour with charcoal oven and enjoyed sharing some pizzas and drinks.

Tomorrow we have the church leaders’ conference with around 90 delegates attending.

Thanks for reading and goodnight.
