GA District

yes. I did it. It didnt hurt… it just felt like a big bucket of water being dumped on my head… So on saturday we went to a festival with the students and it was SO fun! Its called the Hmowa festival. Its for the GA people of the GA district… what they do is its a praise festival for being thankful for food… like there thanksgiving. The chief of the village goes around the district and sprinkles food on the group saying thank you to the ground for giving them food to eat when there was a famine. So what people do is follow the music and the chief sprinkling food and go all over town… And then there is a big ceremony where the chief comes out on a wooden lion suspended by people underneath in the air and they all dance and sing and celebrate. Theres really nothing like it! Its amazing! Also on sunday we went on tour of the city with the students and we went to this foundation that helps homeless kids and they are the happiest kids you have ever meet! They would ask me how old i was and freak out because i would be the same age as them and they thought they would have a shot with me haha! And i wear rings so they were asking if i was married… i said nope not yet… not for a looonnngggg time! And they got exited haha. So yeah my weekend was pretty good! yeah i know you are all saying well that took forever to post a new one! well i went on a 2 day retreat (witch went great!) about african christianity and i was busy! sorry about that!
Love you all
