Mourning Into Dancing

On Thursday we surprised Slav for his 25th birthday with party hats and blowouts in the morning. Later in the day Slav was again celebrated with a bunch staff who work in the red light district. There were beautiful candles, a delicious cake, and beautiful decorations all over. And then they taught us to dance Indian dances. The joy in the room was so contagious as we continued dancing for more than an hour.

Psalms 30:11
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness."

In the afternoon we went shopping on some very busy streets. And in the evening the girls got unique and beautiful henna done on their hands and feet by a 16-year old girl, whose mother is a prostitute.
