So I finally got my pictures up from Easter Break - most of which were taken by Kourtney, a few of which were taken by Kelsey, and very few of which were taken by me. Let me just say a couple things about our trip.
First off, it was very relaxing. We literally didn't do much of anything, just lounged around, walked around, ate canned food, and dessert waffles, and watched life go on around us.
Second, D'Kar was AMAZING. The little village had a great atmosphere. The Noro language, with all it's clicking sounds, was fascinating and I could not get enough of it. We really just showed up and started taking part in the village recreation, playing with kids, and watching soccer games. We got to see their Noro Choir perform on Saturday night, and enjoyed a good Reformed Church service on Sunday morning. It wasn't too far from what I'm used to, just that the Apostle's Creed was much more difficult to say than usual. :) We met a man and woman from the Netherlands, affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church in the Netherlands, who have been living in D'Kar for 20 years and are busy translating the Bible into Noro. The New Testament is almost done.
I think I'd like to go back there someday, and maybe stay a little longer and learn some of the language. That'd be pretty legit.
Alright, so the moment you've all been waiting for:
Awesome pictures Jaclynn!
