A group of 9 of us recently went to Nagaland as a group to be a part of a conference and seminar in two different churches. We had a really good time as different ones of us did skits, sang songs, and taught about different subjects that are dear to our hearts. At the conference in Longleng, we were overwhelmed by the number of people that came to participate with us. Longleng is a town that was a true adventure to visit. It is a bit difficult to reach because of the roads and location, and we didn't have electricity the whole time that we were there. It was beautiful and the people were so kind and hospitable to us. We had an opportunity to visit several of the schools there and share our hearts with them. A couple of people from our base are from that area and so we got to meet and visit with some of their family too.
We went to Kohima after Longleng and held a prayer seminar at one of the churches there. One of the neat things about Kohima is the market that is there which happens to be across the street from the church we stayed at. At this market you can buy frogs, eels, worms, dog, and all other sorts of meats for eating. It's really surreal to walk down the aisle of the market and see a dog claw for sale. One time Beverley was walking through the market and one of the eels jumped out of the bucket in front of her and she screamed so loud. All of the ladies around her were laughing like crazy. Bev was joking that she was going to bring back enough frogs for the whole base to eat, but we decided that we would need about 40, and we weren't sure how they'd handle the bus ride back home.
