They attended church on Saturday in Kesempa and with their village on Sunday. They were presented with a chicken by their neighbors, which is a symbol that they are welcomed into the village. They are in turn supposed to kill the chicken, cook it and share it with the village. They did not know how to kill or clean the chicken so they took it home and a man from the village was to come the next day and show them what to do. The feet of the chicken were bound and Ashlee thought it was cruel and since they were keeping it in the kitchen hut she untied the feet. Of course the chicken managed to get out and they had to recruit the boys from the village to help coral the bird. I can just imagine the site! Andy said that when the man came to show them how to kill the chicken but Ashlee couldn’t watch, so he learned how to do it for next time and is planning to build a coop so they can have a few birds. KFC doesn’t sound so good now, does it?
