This morning I stayed at home to do some uni work. It's quite hard to find time to study, as there's always so much going on. Even this morning I didn't get that much done, as I skyped with Sonja for the first time since I’ve arrived. Whenever I talk to her I remember how blessed I am to have her as a friend. Its so cool that we're living on the same continent now – it makes us seem much closer together. In fact, it takes about the same amount of time for me to travel from Kigali to Pretoria as it does from Maidstone to Exeter, and honestly, with the cost of train travel in the UK, the price isn't so different either.

At eleven, I got a bike to church to do some work with Ubuzima. The first guy I stopped tried to charge me 1000 Francs! The cheek! Fortunately, most of the time there are more bikes than customers, so I stopped someone else and went for 300 F (about 27p). That's more like it. Its only a five minute journey so it really shouldn't cost a lot.
In this photo I'm with Alice and Marta. Alice doesn't speal any English, so she just talks to me in Kinyarwanda. It doesn't seem to faze her that I don't understand what she's saying. Anyway, she's very cool.
I stayed at Ubuzima till five at for their general meeting. This week Mama Deborah spoke about the goodness of God, which ultimately led to a lot of singing and dancing. I'm not sure what was made clearer, God's goodness or the fact that muzungu can't dance!
