Africa New Years


I've done so much these past few days before camp has even started. On Saturday night the church there had a new years dance party. The whole church came to dance and celebrate the new year then have a midnight communion service. I tried imagining the church in Athens doing this. Anyway. In the party I got to crowd surf for the first time. Although this wasn't the smoothest thing Scuba claimed this would only help me get a girlfriend. This is a common subject with him since he himself is trying to find him an "African Princess." To top the night off the communion service was great with three prayers in three different languages and the new year marked the first day of my dads job for Swamp. Four hours later my host family took me and Adam, James, and Stephen at five in the morning to a game reserve where we saw giraffes, elephants, springbox, wildabeast, rhinos, boars, zebra, and baboons. We were incredibly close to many of the animals and got outside of the car, five feet away from a family of baboons. I also almost slapped a zebra on the butt because it  was in the middle of the road. After that we bargained in a market where I got a Zulu mask and a rhino and lion sculpture. I have done so much and I'm just now on my way to the camp.
