We were invited by our friend, the Deputy Principal at one of our schools where we do Girls Club to go to her church in Soweto for a cultural day celebration. Of course Amber and I gladly accepted the invitation!
I am so amazed with how hospitable and generous the people of South Africa are. She took us to the bakery to buy scones (20 of them) to send home with us! She is so sweet and such a joy to be around. We hope to spend more time with her.
The program included dancing by different people groups such as the Sotho, Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Venda, and Tsonga. There was a time of worship which was wonderful as we sang in multiple languages... a taste of Heaven when every tribe, tongue and nation will be worshipping God. There was a good speaker who talked about culture and how God built into each culture something that points to Himself.
Let me add that I am NOT a dancer... but this was like a huge dance party. It was awesome. I just try to imitate them because they know how to move!
This is a traditional Tsonga dance... performed by little girls.
