Awana in Uganda was amazing! Children walked excitedly to church for Awana. We had a thousand kids for Awana! We were told to expect 500, we were amazed with 1000!
Game time!
Children singing!
The little church was packed, children squeezed onto benches with smaller children sitting on the laps of the older siblings. The stage had over a hundred children sitting on it also. In America children go from one event to the next...dance, soccer, play dates....the list could go on and on. Or toy after toy to play with, here church and Awana are the highlight of the week. What a humbling thought! Their joy and enthusiasm is wonderfully contagious and convicting.
After Awana we headed to a nearby town to walk through a huge market. It was a large building with four levels. Venders come to sell their produce, fish, beef and chicken. The produce was quite a sight, huge bunches of bananas, loads of pineapple and watermelon. We also went to a textile market where we could buy fabric to have made into dresses or skirts. The afternoon was quite a taste of the local culture. We loved it!!
Today has been amazing!
