Independence Day in style!

June 23rd

Hello, I trust that the Lord has kept you safe and his mercies are falling afresh upon your life. The Lord has been good to me and I rejoice in the greatness of his grace and his unfailing love.

June 26 is a national holiday here in Madagascar-Commemoration of the departure of the French from this land as colonialists. It seems it is a day that is taken very seriously by the majority of the citizens. People are painting their houses nicely and doing big time purchases both in clothing and foodstuff. For businessmen it is a big money making time.

On the eve of the Independence Day there are normally fireworks displays and dances throughout the night at the beach and many people gather there for the shows.

"Vorotsiloza" the turkey's meat is one of the best meals to cook during a festivity like this. So everyone is trying their best to have one and at worst if a turkey seems hard to come-by then a chicken will do. People travel from far just to be with their families for the celebration.

Once again, thanks for your continual support and prayer.

Have a great week.
Victor.
