I have to share this funny story with everyone. During the week before Easter, we were reading the Bible story about when Jesus washed the disciple’s feet on the days leading up to the Resurrection (John 13:3-5). I asked some of the kids, “Why do you think Jesus washed the disciple’s feet?” Immediately, I got a response from Annet who said, “Because the disciples stepped in animal poop!” and then Joel countered with, “No, because Jesus loved them.” I couldn’t help but laugh! I thought they were both good answers!
After going to church on Easter Sunday, we enjoyed a delicious Easter meal cooked by Mama Monica, our amazing cook. We ate local food including chicken stew, metoke (mashed, cooked plantains), and groundnut sauce (peanut sauce). We all took an afternoon nap and then the kids had an Easter egg hunt. The kids are still talking about searching for the eggs in the Children’s Home compound and finding “sweeties” (candy). It was such a relaxing day and I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross for us to be able to live life to the full (John 10:10)!
“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.” 1st Corinthians 15: 3-5
