Easter Fireworks

There are fireworks for every occasion in India and Easter is no exception. We went to yet another building dedication in the evening and they had firecrakers going off all over the place. I thought we were in a war zone it was so loud:)
In all seriousness, we went to a morning service at 5am. It was nice to celebrate the ressurection in a new setting but I honestly missed home very much today. We are used to Rob preaching the sunrise service and the morning service and then spending the rest of the day with our close friends and family. It was hard to celebrate without knowing the language here and without any close family or friends. Rob and I spent a lot of the weekend kind of bored and staring at each other. I am realizing that prayer is my main tool here and that I must take advantage of the down times to pour out my heart to God about my family at home and also my co workers here. I cannot do much physically to help but prayers are vital. I am able to really focus on prayer where if I was in the States I would have many things to distract me.

Oh and the picture on the left is why Rob is now a vegetarian:) These baskets are full of the chickens they cooked for our meal after the celebration. They don't quite have the same food safety concerns that we are used to in America... yummy.
