Happy Easter!

This is our second Easter in Tembagapura, that we have gotten up at 3:30am, to join fellow Christians in a morning walk around Tembagapura, on Easter morning.  The kids love it because they get to carry torches and I love it because of all the singing and celebrating.  It is quite interesting actually.... There is a guy playing piano in the back of a truck, blasting music over a loud speaker, while everyone walking behind is singing at the top of their lungs.  For those who don't join in, they are awake by the time the parade of people go by their houses!  Here are just a few pictures taken from Easter morning...

 This is a dear friend of ours... Ms. Junie with Gabby! :)

I am guessing this year there were a few less people doing the walk.  I know that there were only 9 Expats.  There would have been 10 if Mersades could have walked! :)  Most people are gone for the school break, so we only had about 20 people in the "Expat"church.  Normal numbers are usually around 50.  But even with that, there were probably around 200 people who did the walk.

I hope you all have/had a blessed Easter!  We sure did.  We spent the day with friends who have become like family in Tembag.  We miss all of our family and friends back home!  God's blessings to all of you!

Christ is Risen!!
