Singing Praises

Yesterday we had a chance to attend choir practice at the local church we have been attending. I wanted to go because the choir is always jammin at church and they have choreographed routines that go with their songs. They always look like they are having lots of fun. We were very welcomed and were asked to introduce ourselves, which we did in Kiswahili and were pretty successful. After watching about 2 songs, we were invited to actually join the choir and sing with them. We must have done pretty well, because we were invited to come back on Thursday and Saturday for practice and on Sunday to actually sing with them during church service. I know some of you are probably laughing at the sight of this (3 Americans- 1 muzungu, 1 china girl and 1 half-caste- singing with an African choir) but I am really excited about it and think it will be a great experience. I always wanted to be part of a choir even though I have no vocal talent whatsoever! The lack of talent and knowledge of Kiswahili did not seem to matter to the Efather Choir. They were happy to have us and I was happy to be there!
