Church in Africa

---

Today a seven of us went with Gemma to church. We all piled into her little High Ace 4WD van.

There was a very large crowd just leaving as we arrived. Gemma explained that they have 5 masses each Sunday, 4 in Swahili and 1 in English.

It was pretty much like any other Catholic church service in Australia, except the choir was very impressive and we all sang happy birthday to the priest.

Even the non Catholics, such as myself, enjoyed the experience. One thing that really stood out was the great trouble that everyone went to, to get dressed up. There were some very beautiful and colourful outfits worn.

After church we went to a craft market and stocked up on souvenirs.

In the afternoon we continued working on the projects.
