Easter

In the lead up to Easter we read and acted out the story as a family.

We were very excited that another family with our organisation came from across the border to share Easter weekend with us. We set up a tent in the garden for the kids and Catherine, and had a great time together sharing stories about our experiences in Africa.

We continued studying the story of Easter, went on walks and visited the ice-cream shop. We spent Easter Sunday at church followed by lunch at a friends’ house that felt like a real party to celebrate the new life Jesus has made possible for us all.

The kids were excited that an American friend in Kigali had given them some real chocolate Easter eggs to have a hunt like they would in Australia. I must say our kids don’t remember Easter egg hunts or chocolate Easter eggs but the girls from the other family are older and certainly did. I’m pretty sure our kids will next year too.

Happy Easter everyone. He is risen!
