Ngiye ku Rwanda

"Questioning the narrative" was going to be the title of this post when I started writing it two weeks ago. A reflection on how a shift in perspective, a new journey, can change everything about how see the world and our place in it.

I'll hopefully find time to reflect on that later, but in less than two hours I'll be leaving for Rwanda. My travel schedule is a bit punishing: a bus trip from Oxford to London, arriving in the city around 4am, a 40 minute walk to the Pancras Eurostar station, a three-hour ride to Brussels, followed by a day on the street before taking the subway to the airport for an 8pm flight. From there I have a lay over in Addis Abba, arriving in Kigali around noon the next day. I am so excited, guys. I'll try and post and update or two from the field. Pray for health for me as I'm on this trip--I've just been coming down with something within the last couple days.

Sorry I haven't been as faithful to update as I would have liked: life crowds in, and most of you have better things to do with your internet time anyhow :)

Much love, and if I don't talk (or write, I guess) to you sooner, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

All best,
Aaron

Now off to take a quick nap...
