Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a very nice Easter including games, water fights, singing, and even a special Easter surprise provided by a local shepherd. As a team we went out to the mountains for a picnic. We had the wonderful treat of ham and cheese sandwiches. We were even able to find lettuce, which is amazing for this time of year.



After our meal Olya, Ken, Ember, and I played some Canasta while Beth went and took pictures of some nearby cows. We had fun remembering Easters that we have celebrated in the past and enjoying the beautiful creation that surrounded us.

As we were leaving, a local shepherd came riding up to us on his horse. When he recognized us as the Americans (the last time we met him he let several of the group ride his horse), he pointed to a plastic bag hanging from his saddle. There was a small tear in the bag with a tiny nose sticking out. He told us that the nose belonged to a small lamb that was just two hours old. He then proceeded to take it out of the bag and we each got to hold it. What an appropriate reminder of the holiday we were celebrating.
