New Year's in Africa

Rainbows were a significant symbol in the Bible and it reminds me of the covenant Noah had with God after the flood. God promised never again to send a flood to destroy all the creatures of the earth. It still serves as a symbolic promise of a future and a God who keeps His promises - since I saw this the last day of 2011, it was a personal encouragement for the year following, 2012.

The rest of the pictures were taken on NYE at a family's home that invited us for a private family celebration of the the new year.  I didn't realize that fireworks are set here like they are for July 4 in the US.  It was a great way to start the new year, especially as someone opened their family to us.
