Christine's (Bishop James' wife) father passed away after being in the hospital for several weeks, and the burial was today. It was held at their home village, which was WAY out in the bush. Hundreds of guests came and they spent several hours telling stories about his life and giving speeches (that's kind of how things work here-- everyone likes to talk for a long time :) ). There were several women, who upon their arrival, walked to the open casket wailing. Also in attendance were the donkeys, chickens and dogs who normally reside at the village and wanted to be in on the action. Very interesting experience!!
