We started the day with some P&W @ community. Afterwards, we walked around town and admired all of the celebrations that took place around the lake. The lake is the focal point of our city. They have a mini amusement park set up there. We call it “Six Flags”… more like “One Flag”. Hahaha.
Many villagers walk around town in their traditional clothing. Every time we see people from this town we are reminded of the strong desire Father has for these people to know Him, to love the least of these.
"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!" Rev. 7:9-10
Carnival games were set up everywhere. Chris won a stuffed Pikachu animal and a bottle of grape juice at a knock-out game! It was fun to see how similar their carnival games were to ours back home.
Vendors were set up with various foods. Sugarcane is very popular here. We also saw real cotton candy!
Several camels were stationed around the lake. We rode the camel and had our picture taken! I’m not sure who got more stares… the camel, or us foreigners!
