Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter, everybody!! This is, obviously, a pretty different Easter for us. Usually, we would sleep in (we went to CCC Saturday nights) and then went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for FOOD!!! (traditional American way to celebrate:) And of course we have an Easter egg hunt in our Easter dresses made by Grandma! Also, our family always get out the Easter baskets, fill them with fake grass and eggs filled with candy and another little gift. (CDs, books, toy cars for Mac, etc.) In India, Easter just isn't a big deal. You can't find eggs, fake grass or Easter baskets (at least, we can't. It might be possible :).So this week, I've been feeling pretty bummed. Mom, however, is a genius. She got little candies - even chocolate eggs! - found some bowls, covered them with a basket cover and saved our Easter!! Plus, we ate at an Italian restaurant and went to church.

And don't think I forgot the real reason of Easter. I didn't. On Good Friday, Holly slept over at a friends house. On our way there,about 5 minutes before we arrived, our temporary driver, (our usual one is driving for another family right now) suddenly stops and says "That's where my brother lives!" So after we dropped Holly off, we visited our driver's brother and family. It was cool, because his brother is a pastor at a church that centers on poorer, working families. The services are in Tamil and Kannada. It was so cool to hear how Jesus is working in India!!
