Happy Easter....He is Risen!
We had a great day. Went to the sunrise service at 6 o'clock, that lasted just over and hour. Lots of good singing, a few shared, and Jon (one of our "adopted children" that worked with us back in Botswana) gave a short message. Then they had their first ever sunrise breakfast, I took some cinnamon buns and oatmeal cake. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
We then had a 10:00 regular service and finally....at 2:00 (you see church lasts over 2 hours) we had an Easter brunch at our house for about 30 people. 
It was fun, as we are all away from home. Even the people who are Zambian are most likely at the mission hospital away from their family.
The trick was to cook the food for these thirty people with no power for the 24 hours before they came. (this happens all the time, but in this case, it was a scheduled outage) It was a little like "Survivor" meets "Amazing Race" for me!
Some people did bring things and I used my camp burner. But God was good, the power came on about an hour before everyone arrived. I even got the quiche cooked in time. Dorien and I had an egg decorating contest and had to have different categories for prizes.
It was fun to see people get into it. Some chose partners and some wanted to work on their own. We all laughed alot and that is good for us to do here.
It was a wonderful day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus!
