Sunday Morning

This morning was Sunday so we went with our neighbor to the nearby pentecostal church. It was very interesting.

Somethings are the same. The church has pews, a choir, even a keyboard player.

A few things different... After offering a few people auction off household goods in the aisle such as potatoes, onions, milk, and calabash gourds. The procedes go to the church. Also, as a mazungu guest we were brought to the front and expected to introduce ourselves to the congregation. Then, afterwards we formed a greeting line and we shook everyones hand. In someways it's not that different from some American churches. Definetly the wierdest thing was the children who smelled their hands after shaking ours to see what wazungu smells like!
