african misunderstandings

Now that I'm in the states, I can't ever think of anything fun to write on here. I can't really tell any cultural stories or how I messed the language up and embarrassed myself. For some reason, those stories don't come as often when you're in the country you grew up in. But I did remember a story someone told me about that I thought you might appreciate.

Marianne was a missionary in Africa. One Sunday, she went to church and was a little confused at one of the worship songs. They were singing joyfully a song that sounded (to her) like this: Wee-na wee-na, wee-na wee-na wee-na...Jesus is a wee-na! I can picture her just looking at her husband wondering what they were singing about. Then later in the song they started to sing: Loo-sa loo-sa, loo-sa loo-sa loo-sa...Satan is a loo-sa! Right then she realized what they were saying, "Oh, winner! Jesus is a winner!"
