Each year, it's become a tradition for the students in my neighborhood to come over to dye Easter eggs, hear the Resurrection Story, and go on a hunt! It's a day we all look forward to, and many of my former students will begin asking about it in January...just to make sure. :) It's fun for me too, because I have so many fond memories of dyeing eggs when I was young....and a little bit older too! There's not been many Easters where I haven't dyed eggs! It's such a fun tradition and a way to be creative and make art! I love seeing the girls' creative juices come to life and seeing the beautiful things they can create. The hunt was hilarious this year! Joy got out in front and found almost all of them, nestled in the guava trees. I love these girls, and feel like they are my own. :)
On Sunday, after church, I enjoyed a feast at my Pastor's house. I think you remember me telling you many stories of precious Gloria Ishimwe. She just turned 2, and she is so full of life! I see the Light of Christ shining bright in this child all the time. It was a joy to watch her hunt for eggs, explore, and then give all of her candy away! Seriously, what two year old gives their candy away? I believe Gloria knows how truly blessed she is. I don't have any pics of sweet Moses, the other baby the Shrecks are fostering and hoping to adopt. But he is also thriving now and very healthy. We are praying that someday they will be able to travel with these babies outside of Rwanda.
