10 days (of what felt like the Amazing Race TV show) with Meghan visiting

When Meghan got here it was like Christmas for Mark and I.  Thanks for all the treats Mom and Meghan!!



Meghan's first breakfast in Rwanda.  We went to a nice place in Kigali called Simba.



Took Meghan to one of the former street boys homes for a visit.  They made us lunch. Rice and beans!!  For a treat, we bought fantas (pop) for the boys.

Buying fruit from some ladies on the side of the road.

The fruit and veggies are SO good here!! 

We went for an afternoon to the Orphanage that I spend time at. Meghan was excited to leave some sports equipment  for the kids, and of course the kids were pumped to get it.

Kayonza village for the 'water walk'. 

We gave out balloons and played with the kids in the village before we had to head out to our next destination.

Meghan got to go and hang out with the Gorillas!!!  She said it was incredible!

Mark and I are loving life in Rwanda. We were having fun showing Meghan around.

Bat Island!!!  If you look closely you can see hundreds of bats.



Lake Kivu.  Our boat ride back from Bat Island.  We hiked to the top of the island for an amazing view of the lake and all the surrounding Islands.



Went to watch one to the former street boys play football (soccer) with his school team. It was about 40mins outside Kigali.  Great game and I'm pretty sure most of the village was there to watch:)

Safari at Akagera National Park.

At Yvette's house.  She made us lunch.  Potatos, beans, and onions.  We sang songs (Yvette has a powerful voice and sings on the worship team at church)and had lots of laughs trying to understand each other while speaking different languages.

 

It was great to have Meghan here.  Hope her life was touched in an incredible way. I know mine is everyday.
