boat rides, island church, and holding hands

the view of the village as our boat pulled in.

the view as we got closer, millions of tiny dried fish on the shore.

the lovely 'hotell' we passed on our walk up the hill to church.

the tiny mud hut used as a church building.

during the service. which by the way was absolutely beautiful. it was 3 hours long, i was amazed at the children's attendance, there were about 40.

some children even watched from outside the window.

this little boy sat with me the entire service and rubbed my arms. pinched my skin, and poked it. they were not used to mzungus.



this girl rubbed her face one my arm for about 10 minutes.

all of the children.

a traditional lunch at pastor timothy's, he is in the hawaiian shirt.
the pastors 21 year old son, quickly befriended aj and held his hand, a custom that aj so graciously partook in.
