Solo Time : )

So today I learned how boring American Christmas music really is : ). Today I went to church with Olive and today during the service all of the different Ethnic groups got up and sang their different Christmas songs in their native language. It was so much fun! They all stood up and danced and clapped and you could really see the joy of the Lord through their worship. When everyone was done and began to sit down a woman from the back began to shout " The Americabs haven't sang, the Americans haven't sang! We want to hear the Americans". I started to look around and quickly realized Olive and I were the only Americans in the church...OH NO! Luckily no one really noticed the woman yelling and Olive and I didn't have to get up and sing(which really is a blessing to those who would have had to hear me sing...trust me!) But before I realized that we wouldn't have to sing I was quickly trying to think of a song that we could sing up front. This is what brings me to my point that Americans do not have any exciting Christmas music. Can you imagine if Olive and I would have walked to the front of the church after hearing all the fun and exciting African music and started singing Silent Night, it would have been so incredibly not fun. I think we as Americans need to adopt the African way of worship, it would be so more fun : )! After church we came back home where I had the whole afternoon to my self. I made some mac and cheese(I know so American!) and then took a long nap before talking to my family and doing some good quality reading. Tomorrow starts another adventurous week at the hospital. I am very excited to see what God had in store for me and how I can pour his love out onto these people. Please continue to pray for me as I am still battling some homesickness, but we serve a faithful God and he is carrying me through!! Have a good night!
