This weekend my church hosted the African Children's Choir which sang and danced at our church. The kids come from extreme poverty In Uganda and get an education and get to travel the US performing with the choir. They were such a joy. We hosted 4 of the boys and a chaperone (who had been in the choir as a kid) at our home.
We got to take them up on the mountain to see snow for the first time and play in the snow. The joy of sledding down a short steep hill, having snowball fights, and building a snowman filled the mountain with the sound of laughter and squeals of joy. It was so much fund.
We got to play with them, have devotions with them, and sing hymns and Christmas songs with them. They were so joyful, loving, and polite. They would say things like "Auntie, thank you for this wonderful meal. May I be excused" and then carry their plates and silverware to the sink. (Everyone older is called Auntie or Uncle as a sign of respect). We were greeted every morning with a hug and got a hug and a goodnight every evening. They even sang a hilarious thank you song after our group meal. What a blessing!
