It sounds like a possible riddle........"who can arrive once, and leave twice?........However, it is a fact that I will be leaving Congo a second time, on Monday! This time I am hoping to enter Rwanda without a problem. Raha & Mapendo had no problem, it was me (that will come as no surprise to many of you!)
I will be seeing you soon........

Well, this is it.....my last day in Congo this year! What a wonderful visit it has been. The people were so very loving and we spent so many great times together. Pastor Raha & Mapendo have been extraordinary in caring for me, and keeping me out of trouble. Thankfully they are coming with me to Kigali in Rwanda, where we will spend the next week, until departure for me, on May 3rd. I am not sure what there is to see in Rwanda, but we will find out!
We had a very nice graduation this morning. Unfortunately, some of the grads were working and couldn’t be there. We took many pictures (yes, I was in them!.....but, I hope they will stay here!).....my camera died of shock and needs charging.
.............not my last day.........we must apply for a Rwandan visa one more time. Pray for success this time please. No change in return dates though, we are still on track with those arrangements. Hakuna shida (no problem), I will enjoy the extra time in Congo.
It is now Friday, I have my visa, complete with official stamp. I will leave AGAIN on Monday, and I’m off to Amsterdam on Tuesday night.

In case I don’t get back to the internet before then.........HAPPY EASTER everyone!! I can’t quite believe the time is almost gone!
Last weekend, we were invited out for supper. The home was so beautiful and the food must have taken all day to prepare! It was a wonderful evening that I will long remember. Such generosity.......it was a gift, really.
On Sunday, we went out of the city to the ‘goat church’. Raha told them that we call them that! They thought it was hilarious! This time we came home with a chicken and some bananas in the trunk. They now have 500 people, and have to hold their Easter service outside because there is no room! What a great problem, don’t you think?
After class on Monday morning, some of my class took me to the grocery store and told me to get whatever I wanted! Generous, generous people! They are so gracious, how does one say ‘thanks’??
So, what’s left to do........let’s see.......2 more Swahili classes, Wednesday, and Friday, teach Thursday morning, preach Thursday evening, Friday evening (not sure yet?), exam Saturday morning, preach Sunday, and try to choke through a farewell, then grad on Tuesday, and off on Wednesday! I think there will be some visiting on Saturday with orphan children and others.........?
