Hotel Invest Kinshasa

... true in Rwanda and still is to a certain extent. To avoid paying exorbitant prices, we decided to go local. We walked out of the hotel and out a block or two to a main street where we were able to flag down an empty taxi after few minutes. The hall we had arranged to rent was only several miles away, so we reached it and were able to start services by 11:30. There were about 50 people present including children. They started by singing a few simply hymns in ...

... I spent about an hour hours in the Kenya Airways lounge, had two cups of coffee and several glasses of water, and read, I was at the end of the Dorothy Dunnett book and couldn't put it down. The flight announcements are so exotic in Nairobi: while I waited flights were announced to Antananarivo, Guangzhou, Dar-es-Salaam, and Bujumbura. Signs point to gates for Mogadishu, Lamu, Arusha, and Zanzibar. It doesn't get more exotic than that. My flight to Kinshasa left at 8:15 ...

... THE TICKETS TO BIG DAY OUT!!! If I get a chance to say hi to Neil Young, I will total give him a dirty kiss for you Erin. :P YAY The Congo has been quite an experience. :P I am looking forward to take-off.

... would it kill to crack a little smile. SOme of the time, you are asking a question and they look bored and as if they are not listening. It does not matter who they are talking to, they talk to Denise (she is Congolese) the same way, and she just shrugs it off. I am not that strong. I take it too personally. when I get to Auckland, I am so going shopping and I am going to soak up all those lovely "fake" complements I get. "Oh..." she will ...

woo hoo!!! I am having my hair done in AFRICA!! The last few days have been so embarrassing. In Dunedin, I step out of the house knowing that I only have to compete with a pool of 60 or so african girls, and only 5 of them have an opinion that matters enough for me to listen to. Now here in the Congo, you have some stunning women. They all have big tits, tiny waist, perfect *****, its ...

... back to work and I asked him what he had been up to. Turns out he had sat staring at his screen most of the time, had a cup of coffee, finished that, decided he also wanted a cup of tea, the went back to staring at the screen. Sounds like a typical work day for me! ha ha good grief! Oh!! I just remembered... When I got here, the kitchen had a funny smell to it. What had happened is that Papa had been trying to get rid of the smell... He had thought that the old tenant ...

... and then we took up the offering. The amount per person was very small by Western standards, but it most things spiritual it is the heart that matters, one is to give "as he is able" God told Moses, and "God loves a cheerful giver" as Paul reminded the Corinthians. Following that I spoke on the topic of what the day represents. We went through many of the events prophesied in Revelation as well as in the Gospels ...

... We hit some updrafts and holes impressive enough to make the passeng**s go totally quiet, before eliciting a few groans and gasps. Thankfully that didn't last long. The air smoothed out, and we could start to see the ground through heavy, dark clouds. Approaching the Congo each time, I can't help but think of Joseph Conrad's book Heart of Darkness, which was set h**e. The gloomy shadow on the primeval forests, seen through holes in the rainclouds in the ...

... subject as we're coming up on some of these days now. After services, I took some photos, then set up my laptop and showed a video of my family's long trip around the world last summer. Those of you following this blog can read about that trip, it's on the Travelpod website, or you can watch the homemade video I made of it at http://www.ucg.org/sermons/index2006.ht m. The ...

Photo: White-throated Blue Swallows at Bombo-Lumene. On the way out of town on Saturday, we were twice forced off the road by high-speed convoys rushing Very Important People to their very important meetings. We could tell how important they were by the deluxe 4x4s, the tinted windows, the ...
