Easter


HE IS RISEN!!!
We had a great Easter, it always feels a little different here on holidays, when you are the only ones celebrating. It is strange to be out on the street and no one around you even knows that it is a holiday. Just a different feeling.
We went to a sunrise service and it was beautiful to sit outside with other believers worshiping the One True God. It was a great time and then we ate a potluck breakfast; and since this was with the international community there were some interesting things brought for breakfast, some of which I have no idea what it was. (There were quite a few Indian families there). After breakfast there was an egg hunt for the kids, the youth (i think there are about 6 or 7 of them) dyed 300 eggs; there were about 20 kids hunting so lots of eggs for each child to find. The girls had a great time, the first time they have been with kids other then nationals since we arrived back. Ayden made a friend, he was Indian and they had a great time playing together. I was thankful there was someone there her age that spoke English. Was hoping there would be a girl her age, but there wasn't. All the kids had a great time and we were home by 9:30!!! We hid eggs again and they got their baskets and then we all rested for a while, after waking up at 4:00am we were all tired. We had lunch with some friends and spent the afternoon playing games together. So thankful for the fellowship we were able to have with like-minded people on Easter. It made it a very special day.
