A Lutheran Church in Tanzania... Mom & Dad would be so PROUD!

I went to church with Rose this last Sunday. She goes to a Lutheran church. This was my second time going and I was again surprised at how many offerings they take! The service lasted about 2 hours and probably 40 minutes of it was involving either the offering plate or someone asking everyone to give and explaining what it was for. I asked one of the employees from the ranch about this and I was told that its just because I am not used to it. In fact, after the service there was quite an auction of the produce that was given in place of money. How interesting… I suppose it is true that it is just because I am not used to it at all. The choir at Rose’s church is really neat. They sing really well and they do a little repetitive dance to each song. I love it! Hopefully I will remember my recorder next time so I can post it on my blog. I am not absolutely certain that I will go every week- I really didn’t understand very much, so I may get more out of reading the Bible at home. Also, I was awfully preoccupied with thinking about the waterhole and if there were elephants and I was missing them. Probably better to work on Sundays after a longer devotion in the morning.
