Women's conference in the bush

Two weekends ago I was able to go out with three other women on my team to a women's conference in the bush. About 150 women came from around the area, some walking a day to be there, to sit around The Word and fellowship. 
This was the drive out there

The leaf covered enclosures were our shower and our toilet
This was our shower - one of the nicest I've used in the bush. It had banana stalks to stand on and a tunnel underneath to drain the water out.
This was our toilet.
This is where we slept, behind the church building. The other women slept on mats inside the church.
This is an old termite hill next to the church.
This is the kitchen where our meals where cooked (over open fires).
Here is where the traveling women set up their kitchens to cook their food.
Some banana trees loaded with fruit out the front of the church.
This is where we had our meetings.
Here are some samples of the singing and music. Unfortunately I must have covered up the speaker in the 2nd clip, but you get a taste of the dancing we enjoyed.
