The Saturday before Easter, Simeon and his three children came up from Buja, the capital. Jeremy and Nadia also came home. So, Hanna and I hung out at their house for some time. I had an awesome mint chocolate chip cookie, and even a couple mini Cadbury eggs Simeon brought for his kids. We hid some plastic eggs in the house for the kids to find in the morning.
To my family...maybe I'll be there next year for the Easter egg hunt. You got lucky this year!
There was a pretty good thunderstorm. Although we enjoyed the lighting and thunder, we found out that the new porch slopes toward the house, and we ended up mopping and squeeging the water up in the living room. Que Sera.
Michelle got sick...probably from food. She is doing better, so we don't think it's malaria.
Easter isn't the same for me without church. Since there wasn't Chapel at the school, I went to church with the kids. We piled all the kids, myself, and another lady into the bus. I think the bus holds 24, but kids are smaller, so I bet we had about 35 in it. The Father of the Children's home drove. The church service was good...I didn't understand anything, but that's alright. There was worship, some people prayed over, a charismatic sermon, and then we were dismissed. It lasted three hours. I was the only white person, and I knew three people, but I was expecting that. I was happy that I didn't feel like I stuck out that much. :) I've heard sometimes you are escorted to the front.
So...I hope you all had a wonderful Easter with your families, and it was a reminder how much God loves you!
