Missionary Kids travel to the village

We have a group of 8 missionary kids(mk's) plus our two children during this session. They have done such a great job adjusting to 40/40 and learning about African culture. On this particular day we traveled to a nearby village. As you can see from the pictures they were able to experience so much in just a couple of hours.

Here is a picture of our mk's plus a lot of kids in the village. We were at the home of Doris Mwanza. She took us around the village and we got to see and experience many new things.

Here the children are playing a game that is similar to what we call "jacks." The difference is you use rocks so they don't bounce. You have to grab the rocks out of the way and then catch your rock before it hits the ground.

Here they are teaching Justin how to play.

This woman showed us how after pounding their maize they have to sift it out the bugs or whatever else may be in there.

The mk's enjoyed a spontaneous, short, football(soccer) game.

The children really wanted to pet a pig so Kym chased down a baby one.

Here is the trail of kids that followed us where ever we went.

We went into the Baptist Church and found two men playing the drums. Hannah took a turn also.

Byrce did very well too.

Justin and Bryce took a turn dancing along with the others.

This is one of the men we found playing the drums.

An ox cart went by so we stopped to see it pass.

The children leared how to take the corn off the cob and also how to shell groundnuts(peanuts).

Johanna found a little friend.

We also had the opportunity to pound the maize. Everyone had a try.

Sarah sure is concentrating on pumping this water!

Madi takes her turn as well.
