It's Good Friday, we are in the village and we went to a Catholic mission for service. It's been a pretty long day but the services are nice. They are really lively with singing and dancing. The mass part is more laid back. The priest asked me if I wanted to sit in front so it was me and a bunch of older Zulu men. I would get up and dance a little during the hymns as everyone would stand for the hymns. It was interesting. It was really nice of the guy to invite me and it was a bit awkward for a few minutes. Then it was actually pretty fun. People here are really nice. There are supposedly almost 7000 people here. Amy and I are the only white people unless you count a little albino boy who actually came and stood by us for a while. I think it was an act of solidarity.
Zulu people can really sing and dance. Before school everyday the teachers at Amy's school have a prayer meeting where they sing and share a bible verse and sing and then pray out loud together at the same time and then sing again. The singing is really good. They are really talented. It's a cool experience. The prayers can get a little theatrical. I think it really is a good experience for the teachers though. I enjoyed being a part of it while I was here.
We brought gifts for Amy's host family and were able to give them to them last night.
Mla with his gifts
