Talent Show and Ambassadors

Jambo!

This past Saturday was the Kingdom Hiker's Talent show. They put in a lot of hard work trying to pull this together. When I came Saturday to the tent, I expected a rigid line up for this event. That is not at all how it went. Imagine with me what it would look like if you took our water day, our community conference and then VillageFest and squished it all on to one small piece of property no bigger than the Town Hall, and then put no order to it except what seemed fun

next, yeah pretty crazy, but loads of fun. First we started with a water balloon toss which turned into a full out water fight (complete with people getting held down and a bucket of cold

water being dumped on them, sound familiar, guess I didn't miss water day after all :) ). Next they did worship, which was totally unexpected, I mean who mixes their talent show with worship? but it was awesome! Then came the performances which were very good. After that Tamasha played. To End it George gave encouragement to them and said that they would be doing it again in the future.It came together so beautifully. I wonder how big the next ones going to be?

Lately, Since George, Abba, and Doug have been going to meet with other pastors, and since I have not wanted to stay at the house alone, I have had the privilege of spending time with some unique ladies :). I have been helping them with shopping and watching their personalities is pretty hilarious :P (don't tell them I told you so :P).

Forgot to mention. Monday, I went with Gideon to a Tamasha rehearsal. Gideon told me some guys would come to listen to see if they wanted to give Tamasha a gig, or something like that. When the guys came, that Gideon was talking about, I was videoing and the band members of Tamasha were introducing themselves. After they were done introducing themselves, one of the guys turned to me and said "I would like to know you". I hesitated, and thought about telling them that I was not part of the band but instead just told them my name. There was an awkward pause :(....very embarrassing...and to top it all of a couple of the Tamasha guys had to cover their mouth so they wouldn't bust out laughing....that part didn't phase me as much (because I'm used to that at home only they usually don't cover their mouth :P) until afterward when Gideon told me they were ambassadors to Sudan from Kenya....heart attack :O!!!!!!!!!

Good news! The ambassadors want to sponsor Tamasha! (like buy them instruments!).
Totally the work of God! :)

Now I've been abducted into Tamasha as their Videographer! (after, of course I pay 500 shillings for registration :) ).

Well, that's all for now. tune in next time for "The stuff you may have missed in Africa" for more interesting news! and in case I don't see you good morning, good evening and good night.
