6:30. barely awake, song books in hand, we shuffle down a narrow path leading to the river. the water is low, so we settle ourselves in the middle of some dry, exposed rocks. and together, as the sun rises, we celebrate Easter morning, singing hymns and reading the story of resurrection.
after sharing a breakfast of hot cross buns and boiled Easter eggs, we all scatter to our different churches. bethany, jennifer, and i arrive at okari to find everyone singing, shaking gourds, and beating drums in procession around the church. we join in, and i greet my friend mary, "Yesu efoto!" Jesus has risen! we read a passage from colossians 3, reminding us that "since you have been raised with Christ, set your heart on things above, not on earthly things." a good truth to hear today.
Happy Easter from Mundri!
sounds like the perfect Easter Sunday! love you friend!
