Trip to the Village

Today Holly and I got to go with Jason Miller to a village church. On the way we experienced the landscape around Mwanza and were amazed at the gigantic rock formations. It seems the area we went to is having a shortage of rain, so please pray that they receive the much needed water. 
The man below is a leader at the church and was by far the oldest man we met. He was so friendly and open. Sharing a meal of ugali and fish was a great way to have community with him despite the language barrier. 
Once I pulled out my camera, it was a mad house. Every member of the village wanted me to take a picture of them and see what it looked like. 
Everyone smiled the entire time we were there. It was so welcoming and refreshing. 
I guess he just liked having a bucket on his head...?
All in all it was a great day in the village!
