Party time!



We had a farewell taco supper on Thursday night for the compound, to say goodbye to a long-term missionary who is leaving at the same time as we are . She had been a part of a ladies choir here at the church for years, and so the choir came to her house that night to sing and say goodbye. Farewells in Africa can be a very lively and long event. She brought the choir over to where our supper was so they could sing for all of us also, which they did outside, as the temperatures are amazing here in the evening. They brought along their percussion section on a cart, and soon we had a full-fledged party going on. It does not take long before everyone gets involved, and much laughter was heard. I think we were all laughing at our very "white" attempts to get their rhythm and steps down! They beat us hands down with or without a baby on their backs!
