Our Easter



Our Easter weekend started off with some visiting friends (which was GREAT!), fellow missionaries with us here in the Philippines. Jason is an airplane mechanic. Ben realized he needed to do the 50 hour inspection on the plane before his next flight this week, so they started in on that. Easter Sunday came, having just finished the inspection, with a call from one of our tribal locations. Two pregnant ladies were in distress. One with a possible condition that was fatal within 6 hours. We ladies quickly made up plates of their Easter dinner (which was good vittles, if I may say so myself), and my friend, Jonie, took it down to the hangar so the guys could eat before they left.



They made it to the tribe, working their way around some weather, and picked up the ladies and their husbands. After safely transporting them to the closest town with a hospital, they came home.


We were able to finish out the day all together at the local beach. How was your Easter?

I was planning on letting the kids hunt easter eggs that afternoon, but we postponed that until Monday. Unfortunately, I did not take into consideration the effects of our present climate on our hardboiled eggs. By Monday, they were SMELLY! we did one hunt and that was it. Next year: Plastic!!!

Wow, what an Easter! I'm all for plastic eggs, but the boys don't think they dye as well. :-)
