SUNDAY NIGHT CONCERT & THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP!!!

On Sunday night, we were given a special treat! They had a special band come and play for us during the service. It was a 10 piece band with several guitars, flutes and pan flutes, some native stringed instruments, and a giant cow jaw that the percussion player played!
Along with the band were fabulous dancers that danced several times....each time with a different native costumes.
They graciously posed with us afterwards. Ellen and Philip both got to dance with them. Ellen learned some of the dances and Philip just blushed and did his best!
He was a great sport.... and then got to model their headgear!
Yesterday was our first day of camp! The kids were so excited! The language barrier was difficult at times, but we all understand the language of love. They are very generous with hugs and kisses! We had a little over 100 kids!
Ellen (otherwise known as Tigger) started us out with games! They LOVE to play! Energy is something they are not short on!
Our campers! Don't they just warm your heart?
I'll end with this picture.... one of the games they played was a ballon contest! How quickly can you blow your ballon up from YOUR NOSTRIL!!!! Hilarious! This is David... he won the contest!
