Easter happenings
Sunday, April 8th, 2007I have just come back from our Easter service – a few people were away for the weekend, and I missed the sermon because it was my turn to look after Stefania, but it was a good time there. As is traditional/cultural here, we are spending the long weekend with various friends – on Friday night a friend came for dinner and to play with Stefania, then another friend came on Saturday night to stay for a couple of days, and on Monday we will be going to a lake in the mountains with various friends from church for a picnic.
Yesterday there was also a bookstall in town – we find it works better not having it on the town market day, as although there are a lot less people that pass by, not having the crowds (and hundreds of other stalls) actually makes people more likely to stop. So when I did the 9-11am shift, there were a few people that stopped to talk and look – there was most interest in the children’s Bibles we have. A couple of my friends from the band that I know very well (I played the organ at their wedding, and they have a daughter two months older than Stefania) passed by also, so it was a great opportunity for them to see me there with lots of Bibles.
