Today we had the Berat Teens over to our apartment to share some fun American Easter traditions. We busted out some American treats we'd been saving or picked up in Germany: Paas egg dye, Jello, Tapioca, and Easter candy. While frantically trying to unpack the kitchen AND straighten the house, Clara and I boiled 60 eggs, made sweet tea and lemonade, prepared jello and pudding, and then friends arrived. We dyed eggs, made resurrection rolls, and for an impromptu egg hunt at the insistance of Gideon, hid and re-hid wrapped peanut butter chocolate eggs all around the house and balcony. We read Matthew 28 together and wrote Bible verses in English and Albanian on our eggs. It was a blast, and I'm utterly wiped out. It was a real family effort, and I'm proud of all 4 of my teammates.
James is preaching on the resurrection tomorrow, and we're celebrating a little extra with the church with a little sweet table. When living in a primarily Muslim country, it's fun for Christians to come together and be a family for each other.
God bless you. Celebrating Jesus' Resurrection with Thankfulness! He is Risen!
