Enjoyed: Easter songs in English, our heart language, a great sermon about allowing the Lord to move the rocks in our lives [bit like the one in front of the tomb or small deadly ones like took out Goliath] by a Godly man who escaped his kidnappers last fall, talking with old friends and making some new ones, and breakfast potluck.
Returning home we took a bit of a break, put lunch in the oven and headed down for church. Being a bit late [still in time for most of the song service and the end of special music] we sat out on the porch enjoying watching the leaves fall gently from a tree and the breeze. By the sermon all the children from children's church surrounded us-and by the coconuts several of them carried we guessed that Fauche's Harvest Service shared the Easter Sunday. [Remember, last Sunday we attended church at Missionary retreat missing the reminder at Fauche]
So Cory returned home to retrieve our offering and some bananas to give. A very nice service celebrating both our Risen Savior and offering Him our lives, our possessions and our worship.
This week Cory and I continue to work on translating the Creole Health book back into English. Not as hard as writing in Creole but a few spots exist where we do not know the Creole words or what I tried to say. So will need to return to our language helpers.
Eli and Anna continue to work on school. Our goal remains to complete week 24 by the time Todd's family and team come to visit the middle of June. Time will tell.
Pictures of our dear friend from LaGonave who helped raise Eli and Anna and kept us well fed. You may remember that she lost 3 adult children in the quake. I enjoyed our heart to heart talk as well as meeting her older daughter's fiancée.
