a Sunday morning walk

So today we went to a church in Kicukiro. We took a taxi to there because the Pastor was going to meet us at the gas station which is close to the church. Well... we thought it was close. So after waiting about 15 miutes with people staring at us. Yes they really stare here. Kinda weird but noting to call home about. Anyways the Pastor got there and he said it is up that way a little. About 1 kilometer. not too bad except it was all up hill. Although I can finally say I stuck with it and did not hold Abby. I made her walk all the way to the church. As we started a ascend up hill 2 girls met us and began walking with us. I wasn't too sure what they were doing but I just greeted them and offered them sour worms. They like them. We walked through an incrediable neighborhood. Even thought the road was all dirt the house were so nice and clean. Lots of bannana trees and a beauitful view kigali.
The girls ended up walking with us to the church. I think they were actually the assistant pastors girls. They were cute and just kept smilling at us.
I think the church must have practiced their music knowing we were coming. The whole singing... from adults to kids was great. It was a good service. Especially since Spencer preached. AND by the way as we were walking to the church it kinda came to me that... hum I wonder if they have a translator for Spencer. So I asked and Spencer said ...he just said no. Only from french. So guess what... Spencer got to preach his first sermon in French. I was so proud of him. It was great. The Lord is soo good and really moved through him today.
So we assended down the mountain. It was a nice walk. The kids really wanted to take the bus... and it is much cheaper.. so we did. We were the first ones on the bus so we picked the seats up front. Although I think they want you to head to the back but no way. So we waited until the bus was full to leave. I am telling you it was full. It was a small bus and it was so packed that the helper guy (the one who takes the money) couldn't hardly close the door. But it closed and we were off. Only about a 15 minute drive and then about another 10 minute walk.
We got home to not much eletricity credit (here you pay ahead). So the day guard took some money and paid for more credit.
I made tortillas so we took the left over meat that we had and we all had a yummy lunch. Tacos!
then off to bed for our Nazarene nap. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Okay all for now. I love all yall and remember.... never be the first one on the bus... you will be sitting for a loooong time!
