Tell your story (THE DIARY GAME 21-07-2024/FINAL DAY OF CELEBRATING MPIMPA FESTIVAL (CULTURE/TRADITION)

Greetings my fellow steemian, hope you guys are doing great 👍. Omo today was really a beautiful and happy day for me, I had fun. Today really went well for me, Nothing can compare to tradition. Am so happy and excited today also sharing my diary game with you guys.

The Mpimpa festival is still going on, and today we will all come to our town hall to celebrate the festival together because today was the last day to celebrate it.

I have this festival on my mind and slept yesterday; I know today's will be very hot.

I woke up early this morning, observed my morning devotion, and then started doing my duties.

I swept our surroundings, and after I went inside, I swept our rooms and parlour.

A few minutes later, my father came back with cow meat. He was the one that killed the festival cow, so he brought some home. We will use it for cooking stew.

We didn't attend church because of this festival 😂😔.

I started cooking immediately my father came back with the meat.

I was doing fast because I didn't want to miss the festival.

I started with cooking white rice. After cooking the rice, I cooked the meat before I started making the stew.

Guess what! Before 12 p.m., I was done cooking both the rice and stew. I brought down the food and dished out food for my family.

We all enjoyed the meal with the cow meat. It just looks as if we are celebrating our own party 🎉.

A few minutes later, I went and took my bath. My siblings also took their baths and dressed up because I was not going to the festival alone. I am going with my cousin, siblings, and friends. The festival is going to be hot.

After preparing for the festival, I took some selfies with my siblings, and we started our journey.

When we got there, the villagers were presenting their own masquerade. Everybody was just laughing, shouting, and enjoying themselves.

Many masquerades were coming inside the town hall. Omo, it was really fun.

Some young people were dancing; the celebrations were very hot, like I wanted them.

Almost all the people in my town were present there. Even those who went abroad came back because of the festival.

This was really my best mpimpa festival 🎎 ever.

After some time, they served everybody drinks and meat. They shared the drinks and meat according to the villages in my town. To make sure everyone gets it.

I ate and enjoyed my soya meat and melts drink.

After eating, it was time to take pictures. I started snapping some of the masquerade .

The festival was really hot, and I hope to invite you guys again next year for the Mpimpa Festival. I can't witness it alone; I need you guys to witness the festival too.

After some time, me and my siblings decided to go back home because it was already getting dark.

When I got home, I decided to take my bath because I was sweating 😅.

After taking my bath, I warmed our left-over food, ate my dinner, and started writing my diary.

That is how my day went, guys. It was fun, and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading my post

I will like to invite my friend @chant @dove11 and @patjewell
