Lepers Colony

Today we had a big rainstorm. It was awesome! I have never heard thunder so loud. I ran out of the pharmacy to dance in the rain and they thought I was nuts! I had to explain that it doesn't rain very much where I live.

In the evening, we went out to another village. Due to the rain, the roads were really bumpy. It's a lot like the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. When we got to the village meeting place, no one was there. We think the rain kept them away. It wasn't raining at the time, but they may have thought we weren't coming. So, we ended up going to the lepers colony instead. We had a blast there. I love going there. The people are outcasts and I really feel comfortable with them! They are so nice and fun to be around. There were many older people with obvious decay. All the kids looked and acted like normal kids. We sang songs, did the wordless book and gave out some trinkets (teddy bears, kaleidoscopes, bubbles, necklaces and kazoos). At first they didn't know what to do with the kazoos, but once we showed them, it was so loud! It cracked me up! Here are a couple pictures...
