A Happy Easter Memory
This Easter Sunday was the first spent away from my family and so comes with mixed emotions.
On one hand, we experienced a deeply meaningful service at All Saints Church. It seemed designed by God to be exactly what we needed for ourselves personally.
On the other hand, the heavens opened up and the rain came down like I have not experienced in a while. After walking in at least an inch of rain and then standing for nearly an hour waiting for our driver to come I was definitely wishing I was home sharing a meal with my family and watching my children hunt for easter eggs instead.
The Ugandan's believe that rain is a sign of blessing and so, while our hair went frizzy and clothes got soaked, we worked hard to claim blessings for the people of Uganda and the work we dream of doing here with you all.
Amidst all the thoughts, the cutest little group came walking up the hill into the church.
Two girls and a boy, just like my family, looking out for each other in their Easter best.
With focused determination and bright colors in the dreary rain I knew I had something to replace the despondency that was trying to creep in.
A truly Happy Easter Sunday memory.
Wishing you all back home a truly Blessed Easter and remember to look out for each other!

Dear Girls-- I'm off to bed Sunday evening but for you it is Monday a.m. and in a couple of days you will be packing your bags to return home. You have been in many prayers both individually and congregationally and we trust that all has gone well in your decisions for the centre. We are so eager to hear all the news on your return. Donna, have a wonderful birthday as you celebrate with old and new friends in Uganda. God bless you as you 'tie up' things there and may His guardian angels watch over you as you travel home. Love, Verna.
Hi Angela. Have been reading the blogs and kept up with some of the activities you are involved in. Have been praying for you and trust you will have a safe trip home.
Thank you for your Easter card. Missed you and Christina at our dinner but enjoyed having the rest of the family here for a short while.
Love you. Mom.
