Mercy House

While we are in Rwanda, our home will be in the Anglican Guest House complex, which includes the Hope House where we will live and the Mercy House where we currently live. Right down the street from us are Kigali Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), USAID, UNDP, and President Paul Kagame. The Kigali diocese of the Anglican church is across the street. Both guest houses are fairly humble but lovely with a great garden and great view.

The Hope House is fully furnished, 2 stories, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, living/dining room, and kitchen. There is a guard dog named Lazarus, and he will open the gate for you when you honk. I assume he only opens it when the right car honks, but either way he comes out barking.

We’re expecting Christmas cards. Better send them now.

The Mercy House is more of a hotel in that guest rooms have a bed and a desk. We can take our meals there if we choose, and I am inclined to choose so because we eat very well there. Incredible pineapple, small bananas, eggs, toast, tea – breakfast. Janet prepares our food, and she speaks Kinyarwanda and English. Another guest at the Mercy House is a young medical student from Ghana – she is doing her overseas residency here for another month.

Here is a short video of Danielle and me on our back porch at the Mercy House; it’s so great there at night.

[I think we're bad at doing videos online and we have poor bandwidth. Something's got to give, so we'll try again to get this right. Sometime later.]
