The Diary Game: Have you ever gone to church on Palm Sunday and realized that you are the only with Palm fronds ๐พ in church? This happened to me today ๐๐: by @ngwerast: 10/04/2022
Happy Palm Sunday to you all great steemians. Today I will be sharing with you how I spent my palm Sunday of the year 2022 and how a little funny it was, because I was invited by a friend to worship with them in their Church (Christlife Embassy Church Douala).

Morning session.
Part one:
I woke up today at 7a.m alittle late this morning, because I slept late. I was feeling kind of lazy to leave my bed, even though I knew i had to boil beans for pounded Irish before going to church. Nevertheless, I finally left my bed after praying, went straight into the bathroom to brush up. When I was done brushing, I went into the kitchen, wash the red beans I socked in water the previous night and put on the fire ๐ฅ to cook. At about 7:45 a.m, I prepared bread and tea for breakfast. After my breakfast, I ironed my dress ๐, went into the bathroom and took my bath. It was exactly 8:15a.m, I switched off the gaz cooker and dressed up for church.
On my way to church, I bought my palm fronds ๐พ for 100f(long size). At exactly 9:15 a.m, I arrived church.

Part two:
Now this is the funniest part of the day ๐คฃ๐๐๐. Upon entering the church gate, I saw Christains outside without palm fronds ๐พ! ๐ , I said to myself, might be they didn't find the time to get their palm fronds. So, I proceeded inside the church and still saw no christain with Palm fronds ๐พ๐. Rather, everybody was looking at me somehow๐, I went in, took my seat. I kept my palm frond๐พ on the floor, under my chair, turned to my neighbor on the right, greeted him and asked "this church does not celebrate Palm Sunday"?๐ณ๐ค, He responded and said "they don't come with Palm fronds, but they recognize Palm Sunday". I was like okay ooo ๐ค, I now understand why everyone is looking at me this way. I was looking so odd and had this shy feeling ๐๐ค, like how can I be the only one in church with Palm fronds ๐พ on a palm Sunday!..... When church service was over, I hurriedly picked up my palm frond ๐พ and left. On my way out, I remember the pastor said we should connect with other people, make friends and exchange contacts. So, met this lady out side the gate. I introduced myself, after a short talk with her, we exchange contacts and took selfies and pictures. See below;

Afternoon session.
I arrived home at 12mid-day, after changing my clothes, I went straight into the kitchen to continue with the cooking process I left before church. The meal for the day was pounded Irish and beans. Since I had boiled beans in the morning, I took Irish potatoes to Peel. After peeling, I switched on the gaze cooker, put red oil in the pot, fried onions and pepper until it was brown, then i washed the potatoes and added. After 5minutes, I washed the already boilied beans and added. After 30 minutes, it was now dried and ready to be pound. See below;
My grandmother always thought us that every traditional dish is eaten with fingers. As you can see from the picture, I am using my fingers to enjoy it.
Now, if you are a lover of this meal, join me at BP cite douala today lets share.๐๐๐
The evening session of my day was just calm because Eneo had done what they know how to do Best (ceasing light.)๐ฅบ๐๐ข๐ฅต. Due to the extreme heat, I went to bed.
Moral lesson : connecting with people, is good business. If you think am joking, make enquiries.
Thank you all for taking time to read.๐๐ฅฐ
Wow I can see you had a very nice day .attending service in a church where you donโt fellowship there is quite challenging .I can imagine how you were happily entering the church with your palm frond and later discovered you are the only person having if it in the church .What you failed to do was to first ask her if they take palmfrond inthe church since today is Palm Sunday .Next time try to ask questions to any one that invites you to his or her church before going .so that you can know things do or not to do while there .lastly please when writing reduce the rate of putting emojis in your post is alarming .people might feel bored to go through your post with these a lot of emoji,s.
Thanks so much for your comment @wirngo, and also for the corrections. Will adjust in my next post. Honestly, I forgot to ask my friend if they celebrate Palm Sunday or not. But it never crossed my mind that some churches don't celebrate Palm Sunday. I thought palm Sunday and Easter feasts are a universal thing.
You are welcome dear
