Happy Easter!!

I'll get back to posting more about my trip soon... but I wanted to make sure I told everyone to have a very happy Easter!!
We celebrated this glorious holiday with CSA (Christian Student Association) starting out with an awesome choir, followed by service with communion, a baptism on the black sand beach, and an international potluck lunch!!
It was a great morning!!

I am so thankful to be living in such a beautiful place this Easter (even though I nearly passed out earlier due to extreme heat)
I look around at the beauty of Grenada and the awesomeness of the sea and I know that I serve a mighty God and a risen savior!
How fortunate we are that God took the time to make such a beautiful, diverse earth!!

Easter in Grenada


Easter morning we went to a sunrise service at the point on campus.  It was my first sunrise service... I think. probably because my family had 5 kids & we would have never made it on time & once I was older.... yea right....... so. here we are in Grenada & I asked Lee if he would get up and watch the sunrise with me & then he was called and asked to play the guitar and sing for a service.
It was beautiful and peaceful and it made me appreciate the beauty around me that I take for granted.  What an amazing way to start your day, especially Easter.  The way the sun was coming through the clouds looked as if Jesus was just gonna walk out and join us..... and I think he did. Where 2 or more are gathered right.

Afterward we came home and went back to sleep... it was only 6:45!  and church isn't until 11.  I slept until 10 and Lee made us iced coffee  and it was delicious!
After church we had a baptismal service at the black sand beach and an international potluck lunch!  I missed the end of church because I was helping with food for the potluck.... all the people getting baptized spoke and I wish I had been there to hear them!  2 of Lee's friends got baptized!  and there was a girl who converted from Islam and a guy from Buddhism! amazing.... I love living amongst such a diverse group of people, our church is especially diverse.

The black sand beach is soooo cool!
Unfortunately it is closed most of the time because of a strong undertow
It was cool to walk on though... it's HOT. and you sink in it.
It was a good day :)

We also colored Easter eggs with the kids at Limes this week.... it was so fun. they are so cute!
