Church

So I got sick again!!
Something flu-ish. But it was my last chance to go to church with the family, so I sucked it up and went. Church is a big deal. We went to a joint service in Effiduase. So, it took an hour to get to church, then the service was three and a half hours, and then an hour to get home. The service was interesting. First we sing a song, then the entire congregation breaks into groups for little bible studies, then the pastor gives a sermon, we sing the same song as before, the pastor gives another sermon, we sing the same song again, and the pastor gives one last sermon. Then they take offering...twice. People who are giving money are supposed to hold it up in the air in their fists. Then they had people go around an announce to the church how much money they were donating to repair the church. Finally, we end with the repeated song. Also the church doesn't do communion...ever.
