Easter Sunday - Selamat Paskah!

 Easter Sunday!  We are so thankful to go to church and celebrate together the resurrection day of our Lord! 

 He is Risen....YES! He is Risen Indeed!

Nick & I are grateful to the Lord for His offering & sacrifice - and we are so thankful to God for the  Joy & Peace he has given us in our hearts!  We are thankful to celebrate Easter here in Indonesia with all our neighbors and friends we have made in these past months!

 We all brought prepared dishes of food from home and had a nice lunch afterwards! 

After the meal, the children would enjoy their annual Easter egg hunt! 

 Todd gave us a good Word from John 20 & 21 and Gustavo lead us in prayer and Donovan & Andrea led us in song!

 *************

 Good Friday ~  Friday, Nick & I did a much needed walk...3 hrs - and by the time we returned back to the house - we were cooking!  It was HOT out there!  But thankfully we did get some exercise - we needed it!  

 

 Kristian & Lianne invited us over for a Dutch meal!  Beppie joined us!  We have served it to our friends back home: potatoes, carrots and onions mashed together.  They had the meatballs & Dutch brautworst/sausage with it to...my it was good! 

 We had the honor of finishing up the last one with them...yes Kris' parents had come to visit from Holland and had brought them 3 of them ~  So it was a big treat to enjoy it together!

 Kris dished up for us ~ they did a good job....HEERLIJK!

 Yes meat ball and friend potatoes too!

After supper - Kris read from the Bible and also a devotional from Max Lacado - very good - it made the evening so special to remember Good Friday together!  

We had a wonderful evening and we talked about meeting and doing a little "reunion" dinner when we are all in Holland in August!  A great idea! Yes! Let's do it Kris, Lian en Beppie!

They are the sweetest!

We have made arrangements with our friend Andreaz to rent a car and drive us to the airport in the morning!  He will pick us up at the house here at 6 am!  Thank you Andreaz - for offering to do this for us~ we greatly appreciate it!

So next Blog family & friends will be from Bangkok, Thailand!

A Blessed Easter to you all!
