¡Se Levantó!

Se Levantó, Se Levantó, de la tumba Se Levantó. He rose, He rose, from the tomb He rose. It was a joy to sing this line of a song this past Sunday. Praise God for the fact that Jesus did not just die, but he rose from the grave and now sits at the right hand of the Father.

Sunday morning we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ at our church, Canaan Baptist. It was the first time that some of the boys actually sat through a “real” church service. We sang, prayed, listened to the Word, and then partook of the Lord’s Supper. What a marvelous day it was!

After church, we returned to the house to eat lunch and have an Easter egg hunt. It was funny watching the boys look through the bushes, leaves, and flowers around the property. We even had a golden egg and gave a prize for the one who found it, and a prize for the one who had the most eggs.

In the afternoon, we headed back to Joya Grande to play some soccer and have our regular Sunday night Bible study. All the boys went with Jodie to the children’s Bible Story lesson and learned about when John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Derrick went with the adults to continue our study through the Gospel of John (we are almost to chapter 8). We were blessed to spend some time with the families and have bread and Pepsi with them after the study. The hospitality that we see always amazes us.

After returning home, a game of "aggravation" (board game) was
the highlight, and Carlos was the victor.
