This morning, I went to church with Noel and Bahati. There was a special fundraising event today. They were collecting money for a new bell, to build new bathrooms, and to buy a motorcycle for the preacher! People would go up one by one and announce how much they were donating. After around the 6th or 7th chicken had been auctioned off, Bahati and I decided that we had had enough, so we snuck out. After the 20 minute walk, we arrived home at 2:20. Noel finally made it home at 5:00! We had left at 9:40, so that was a full day of church for Noel! I was under the impression that this was a sufficient amount of church for one day, until the preacher and his assistant showed up at the house to pray with the family. This was a special occasion, because Bahati has completed her university education. This was another hour of praying, singing, and kneeling on a very hard floor.
I had planned to go swimming at the waterfall with friends this afternoon, but the sun never really came out, and I was pretty busy with church activities!
