So, I was in Guinea-Bissau recently (that's a story for another post, or my newsletter maybe), walking down the road with a couple of friends and one of them, a Guinea-Bissau-an I might add, starting singing this song to some kids. I vaguely recognised it but wasn't sure where from until he began to put his thumbs up, pull his arms back, bend his knees... Can anyone see where I'm going with this?
He was in fact singing 'making melodies' in Kriol. I was speechless. I'm in a small town in Guinea-Bissau, with not that many evangelical Christians and I come across that song. They say it's a small world but this is taking things to extremes!
Making melodies is now firmly stuck in my head, it took months after leaving the ship to stop it from popping up every few weeks and now it's back. I can only hope I have passed this joy on to you as well.
(for those who aren't familiar with the background, 'making melodies' is a Christian kids song that gets sung more than is necessary by Doulos teams on ministry days. The kids love it but it gets very annoying if you have to sing it/listen to it on a regular basis for an entire year!)
