Road Trip

On Saturday we took a road trip with the RdR team. First we headed out to the Lepers Colony... my favorite place in Sudan. We just hung out with the people there and had a great time. They sang some songs for us, then Cody played the guitar and Matt shared about Lazarus. At the end the ladies danced and sang again for us. Before we left, we gave some shoes to the chief to pass out.





Next we drove to the Bongo tribe (origin of the Bongo drums). It took about an hour to get there on a bumpy road. I love the Bongo tribe. They are very different from the Dinkas. They are more laid back and organized. For a while we just sat and visited with the people there. Then we took the kids and played soccer with them. The girls led the younger ones in various games like Duck Duck Goose and Follow the Leader. Later Matt told the story of the feeding of the 5000. There were a lot of people gathered there by then. After we continued to hang out and played games. At one point they started singing and dancing. They formed a "soul train" type of circle and took turns dancing in the middle. When each person was finished, they tapped someone else in. Each of us got several turns in the middle. It was a blast!








I loved seeing RdR jump right into all the action. They aren't hesitant to interact with anyone and are a huge blessing to the communities they encounter.
