I realize it has been almost a week since we left New Life to come here, and I sincerely apologize it has taken us so long to get to this point, but...we made it! We have been busy since we've arrived and we still have so much ahead of us. By 2:30 p.m. on June 2nd, the World Prayer Center courtyard was buzzing with excitement. Backpacks were sprawled out everywhere and teams were running around like an army of ants trying to get together and figure out last minute details. I think Rwanda was the only whole team wearing our t-shirts so we were easy to find and obviously stood out. As we loaded up the buses, the enthusiasm in the air was so thick you could breathe it in. All of the hard work and meetings...everything we had prepared for had led us up to this day. Denver International Airport didn't know what was coming to them as our buses pulled up and 150 kids climbed out to check-in. We flew together a little over 8 hours to the London Airport and spent another 8 hours in London while waiting for our next flight to Nairobi, Africa (which also took a little over 8 hours). Once we made it to this small airport, the teams split up, and we were finally on our own. Four hours in the airport, another hour to Kigali, Rwanda, and we were finally there! Melissa was the only one who had an issue getting her luggage but she her attitude didn't wane a bit when her bag didn't show up and she received it two days later. So we loaded up our very tourist-looking bus and began our adventure...
