Day 4 - Thursday

Actually, I'm going to share pictures later.  Not much to report here. 
 
We did our first book table today.  It is quite interesting.  I enjoyed it much more than I thought.  We were by a market and were able to walk through it.  We couldn't hand out many tracts in the market itself because a lot of the females were with their husbands.  We also walked all over the area passing out tracts too.  One time I asked a lady as she was passing by me if she wanted something to read and I had a tract in my hand.  She looked at me as if I had two heads, took the tract, and continued staring at me as if I had two heads.  It wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be.
 
Some of the people from the group got in to some lengthy discussions.  "S" was talking to a "M" for an hour and a half or so.  Then at the end we couldn't find "M" because he was deep in the market carrying on a conversation with someone.
 
I did find a skirt that I like and I bought it for 4.50 pounds ($9).  Not bad.  Yes, I know that I was supposed to be passing out tracts.  :)  We were allowed to take short breaks throughout the day.  "J" helped me and bartered for a lower price because she told me never to pay full price for anything in the market because they will barter.  They originally wanted 7.50 pounds ($15) for the skirt.
 
Love to all,
 
Jenn
