Day 4: The older missionaries in the group told me to go befriend some natives. It's been less than a week and I've already interacted with a whole group of native children around my age. At first, they looked really timid and looked scared of me. I don't understand why, for I wasn't trying to appear threatening. They relaxed a bit more around me, and they even brought me to their village. There, I heard them chatter in their native language, smelled the spices that they used to cook with, and saw giant monuments, which I assumed were dedicated to their gods. Since I was instructed to spread the word of God, I gave them some bibles that the older missionaries handed me. However, some of the older natives witnessed my actions and chased me out of their village! I knew that some of them might not approve, but I didn't expect them to chase me out.
