Life's a Dance!!!!

Today we went to Kasibee which is a small village located behind Namwianga where we are and we went to church in the bush!!!! Oh my goodness it was so adorable! The church was in a little hut like pavilion and most of the towns people walk there! In the Zambian culture the men sit on one side of the auditorium and the girls sit on the other!!! I sat down and not five minutes later two girls about five or six years of age came and sat right next to me! The two girls were playing with my hands and studying my fingernail polish! I think the highlight of their church morning was that I gave them each some money to put in the collection basket, they were beaming from ear to ear!!!! The one girl who was right next to me did not want to let go of my hand the entire church service! Leonard who is our cook goes to this church and so after church we went to his house and he made us a beautiful lunch!!! We had rice, sheema, chicken, greens and to top it off some awesome cake!!! Leonard has been the best cook ever and usually for dessert we have one of his special cakes! My favorite cake so far has been his apple cinnamon cake!!!! YUM!!!! But here is the best part, Leonard’s family has a band and they played for us and everyone was dancing!!!! I was sitting down and a little boy came up to me and took my hand because he wanted me to dance with him, so I did! I have two pictures with him!!! These people know how to dance and were probably laughing at how bad we were dancing but it was so much fun!!! Being on this trip has made me realize that I do not really care anymore what people think! I think that life is too short and if you get the chance to have a good time who cares what you look like when you are doing it! I hope I remember the feeling I had today dancing with that little boy and not caring what anybody thought!!! I felt happiness and joy!!!! I can’t wait to show everyone at home my new dance moves!!! There is a song that I’ve always loved and the lyrics say this, “Life’s a dance, you learn as you go, sometimes you lead sometimes you follow, don’t worry about what you don’t know, life’s a dance you learn as you go.”!!!! I’ve learned so much in the time that I have spent here! From now on I will dance through my life and I hope everybody will cheer me on as I go!!! We leave for Livingston in two days and I am so excited to go on the safari and see Victoria Falls!!!! What an awesome opportunity!!!! My love to all!!!!
