Selamat hari Paskah! Happy Easter!

We had a really nice first Easter in Asia-Pacific.
Lately we've been talking to Raquel about why we celebrate Easter. She likes hearing the story over and over again, and is always asking us about God. It's very interesting to hear her questions, she keeps trying to figure out if anything is bigger than God (like our house:) Today she told us that God really gave her a lot of teeth.

We started out our day at church at 7:30
the power went out in the middle of the service, but that didn't bother anyone:)

Raquel decorated an egg and joined in a hunt for chocolate coins in children's church. She won a prize for her egg pictured below:)


After church, our friends, the Svoboda's came over and we hid eggs for the girls to find. They did a great job:)



Then it was time for lunch. Ham, cheesy potatoes, deviled eggs, salad and mango pie for dessert. Delicious!
Happy Easter everyone-
He is Risen!
