But even more 'exciting' was the arrival of a snake! Some of the older kids were playing ball games at the back of the hall when they noticed the snake slithering across the stage just behind them. This wasn't a snake that was afraid of us either and it headed straight for the kids! We got the children to stand well back from it - no mean feat as so many of them were bizarrely fascinated by it. Thankfully it decided not to come after us and slunk off. Some of the men who help at Mapheo managed to trap it behind the stage and eventually kill it. We're fairly sure that it was a small spitting cobra - one of the few poisonous snakes in this area. I hope we don't see one in church again!
