Our Easter!

(This will be the 6th time I try to post about our Easter.  The internet keeps kicking me off.  Here goes nothing)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!  We missed being with everyone, but we also had such a neat Easter here in Uganda.  We started the day off by traveling to Zirobwe (as we do every Sunday) to run church and Sunday School.  Brett and I helped with Sunday School this week.  We had over 200 kids show up!  We, along with others, held an Easter party for them.  We sang extra songs, had a dance competition, taught them how to play chubby bunny (and taught them what a marshmallow is) and we got cupcakes/juice/candy for everyone.  The kids were very excited and seemed to have a great time!  Oh!  And we put on a skit of Jesus’ death and resurrection (Brett was Jesus).

The rest of the day I’m hoping to show you in pictures, but we’ll see how it goes.

We invited about 14 sponsored kids from the neighborhood for another Easter "party".

We taught them how to go on an Easter egg hunt. 

They didn't fully understand at first, but once they got it....

They loved it.

We actually played about 4 or 5 rounds.  When they found their egg they would dump the candy in a bag, we refilled the eggs and played again.  The smiles on their faces was priceless.

Brett started a fire and we taught the kids how to make smores.  They thought roasting the marshmallows was pretty cool and each had about 5 smores.  They all went home on a sugar high :)

After all the kids had left a group of us went out for dinner.

Sorry it's so dark. 

This was our Ugandan Easter though.  Hope you enjoy the pictures!!
