Yesterday was Easter. Easter in Peru is not nearly as big a deal as Good Friday. We attended a small Baptist Church with a missionary couple Sunday morning. It was a very lively baptist service!! The 2.5 hour service went by really fast. The music was loud, the preacher was excited, and several people gave testimonies and were baptized. It was pretty awesome.
After that we went over to Jaime and Angie’s apartment to have an Easter lunch. Chicken breast, mashed potatos, cheddar biscuits, and whole kernel corn…..mmmmmm. It was good. There were a few Peruvians sharing the meal with us as well. After we ate we taught them how to color eggs.
Once a month all the missionaries in Lima get together for “English Worship.” This is a really neat time of fellowship and worship and Bible study . . . all in English, which was refreshing for me and I’ve only been here a week and a half. I’m sure it must be an anticipated time for most of the missionaries here.
Great to hear about the easter festivities. I know is was great to get together with the other missionaries for fellowship. How are you guys holding up two weeks in? We have created a blog page now so that you can keep up with whats going on with us. The address is http://www.serve4life.blogspot.com
