Happy Easter!

Easter Morning
We enjoyed our earliest sunrise service ever on Easter morning! We woke up the kids at 5:45am so we could be at Horwoods Farm (a nearby park) for the beginning of the 6am sunrise service. Four or five local evangelical churches came together and shared in the service. It was beautiful praising God outside as we watched the sun come up. What a great way to celebrate our risen Lord! Afterwards, the South African tradition is to have tea, coffee and "hot cross buns." These buns are like a roll with raisins and have a cross on the top. They are only made that way for Easter. After the service we went with another family to their house for breakfast and an egg hunt for the kids. It was a great time of fellowship and getting to know one another.
