Journal Entry by: Christine S.
Our day started of with a late mass at St. Anderew's presbyterian church. The service was very different from the services we are used to. it was brilliant! It was a youth service and it was attended by approximately 150 people most of whom are below twenty years old. It was very musical and incredibly interactive. We found ourselves singing and clapping along with the service. They had a portiong of the service dedicated to members of the community presenting songs and interesting dances. We greatly enjoyed it.
The resort that we are staying at is beautiful! The country itself is beatiful! All the people here are beautiful!! We are welcome with such open arms! Most of us can't believe at how nice everybody is! We feel incradibly welcomed and respected.
Later on we were privileged enough to be visited by the Huruma group for a cultural presentation. The group called themselves Nzumari African Arts, they were incredible! the dancing! the music! the acrobatics!! we were all really pleased to hear that we will be spending more time with this group next week! yay!
We have also develeped a love of group frisbisee and football. Although our frisbee playing was put to an end when Griffin broke our frisbee with his rolling body! therefore we have resorted to football, a worse sport, but it's fun! Alex made the play of the game with a interception runback for the game-tying touchdown - nice play Alex! All in all, our trip has started off magnificently and we can't wait to experience more!! we love this country !!
