Temple Trip



We had talked about going to this temple ever since we came here and it took a few months but we made it. It turned out to be a good thing we waited because it was a special worshiping day her. We were able to walk all around the temple ( temples it turned out to be a lot) and see the people worshiping. It was a big celebration and there were lights and every time a group comes into worship the band outside plays the drums and they set off fireworks. It was really neat. The temple was really old and had amazing detail in every section. The people were really nice and let us have free access to pictures and video which is great for a foreigner. The temples were more than a block long and we couldn't tell how wide they went. Each room had their Gods in them. They worship ( from what Caleb knows, I can see and what we have asked) by giving gifts, this includes food, fruit, soda, chickens, by burning fake money, incense, and their own prayers or worship. It was really beautiful temple with all the detail and made for a really fun show!
