On Saturday, my roommates Crystal and Beth, Crystal's friend Jessica, and I went to the Festival of Nations. It is an annual event at the local university, and the foreign students planned the whole thing. Here are some of the activities that we enjoyed....
We saw the Parade of Flags, tried foods from ten different countries, got henna tattoos and face painting, saw fashion shows (each foreign student wore a tradtional outfit from their country), and saw cultural dances and musical performances! A special highlight was having Suzy and Hondo there teaching Latin dances such as the Rumba and Cha Cha. Of course Beth and I had to give it a whirl! AND there were prize giveaways too, and I ended up winning a three month gym membership to Anytime Fitness! Woohoo!
The whole day was so much fun, and I was reminded again of the beauty in the diversities that God has created! Hearing all of the different languages and seeing the different faces made me excited for what heaven will be like someday....with people from every tribe, tongue, and nation!
