From Rwanda

Dr John Mulford, writing from Rwanda
Dear Team,
I arrived on time this noon (Sat). God answered our prayers about the exit row, although not until the last minute. When I got to the gate in D.C. at 7:45am, the agent said they saved those seats for tall people, so I couldn’t have one, but I could check back at boarding time (10am). Just like clockwork, got exit row aisle. Jason understands the importance of this seating—the difference between stretching your legs out as far as you want vs. eating your knees for 13 hours. So God is good. He cares even about little things like seats.

Dona picked me up and took me to see our offices at Telecom House. He moved in yesterday to a suite of 3 offices—Praise the Lord!

Someone at Telecom House told Dona that he wasn’t sure if we could stay in those offices even through May. But at least we have space now.

I didn’t get to see our offices (Chrystel has the keys), but I saw others in that wing on the 4th floor. Very nice. Tile floors clean and in good condition. Walls painted and no holes. Didn’t test electricity yet. Elevators have been repaired and modernized.

Our offices overlook the major boulevard with downtown Kigali in the distance. Offices across the hall overlook golf course. The whole wing is vacant—about 10 offices/suites of various sizes. One could be a classroom for up to 20. It seems that this space is in high demand, so RDB is juggling requests from many people. The building has a very professional feel—and it is being brightened up. Nice plants in planters at entrance. Shiny tile floors.

I’ll spend the weekend trying to get everything ready for resuming classes plus my other To Do’s. Thank you all for praying as a team.

I’ll be in touch.

Blessings,
John
