Easter Sunday

Happy Easter! He is RISEN!!
This morning we are off to a lazy start as we slept in until 8:00. The girls woke up to discover that the Belizean Easter bunny had shown up. They even got to take part in their own version of an Easter egg hunt. They (along with Ryan and Josh) sought revenge on the boys for demoting Ryan to the lowest rank of TSF. They used water balloons (eggs) and they hunted the boys. Our bags are packed, and loaded in the trailer. We are saying our last good byes to the people who during the week have made camp home away from home for us. Some of them have been our Belizean family for a few years. There are some changes happening here at camp, so there is uncertainty as to who will be here both for us in terms of team members next year, but for them also. We're so grateful for them and their consistent love and servant hearts. It's like someone turned on the waterworks. :)
We are going to do our own Easter service out in the chapel. We will be not only the first service in the chapel, but the first Easter Service in the chapel area. Mrs. Orr brought resurrection eggs and we're going to make sure that we celebrate the joyfulness of this day! As soon as we finish with our service we are going to start our 4 1/2 hour drive to the airport, and then our 5+ hour flight home. We are a group with mixed emotions, as we are excited to come home and see you but sad because in many ways we have become our own miniature family here, and that family time is ending. Please pray for our safety in travel,  as well as for the hearts of our kids as they leave Belize. Please make sure you keep an eye out for any delays on our flights. We are on the following flights:

April 8 Belize City to El Salvador departs 5:20pm arrives 6:25pm TACA 411
April 8 El Salvador to LAX departs 7:40pm arrives 12:05am LACSA 670

We love you ALL!!! See you soon!
