Spring has finally come to our little island. And with the coming of spring, Esther is another year older. It's hard to believe the time has gone so quickly, and our baby girl is almost an adult. She pretty much celebrated in various ways ALL MONTH! But, one special event was the "annual" Scum Card party. Some of you may remember that Granny sent Esther a cake-decoraing kit last year. So, with a little help from the internet, she designed, baked, and decorated her own cake!
Lots of local friends helped her celebrate. These girls attend her Saturday night High School Youth Group. They also attend our BIG English clubhouse and help with VBS.
Of course, Twiggy and Sabrina were invited. They are definitely family. Twiggy is co-leading the Saturday night High School Youth Group with Esther.
Nadia is our friend from the Summer English Camp at WanLi, the Orphanage ministry at Harmony Home, and various other groups at our BIG English clubhouse. You can tell, by the lovely crown, that she won the highest honor of Queen.
Spring also gives us ample opportunity to go into public school junior high and high schools to do Holiday presentations. We were able to present HIStory of Easter to several hundred students in multiple classrooms.
We really enjoy being able to use our holiday supplies in various areas: our Wednesday night Home Book Study, the Saturday night High School Youth Group, public school holiday presentations, Summer English Camps, Awanas, our Saturday SS class at our LITTLE national clubhouse, Harmony Home Orphanage, etc. Jack has been busy laminating every thing in site, so we can use our supplies over and over and over throughout the year for many years to come.
Another highlight of the Easter season was being able to hear various choirs present special music at our BIG National Clubhouse. Even though we don't understand many of the words, we can feel HIS Spirit and can see their love for HIM on their faces. Many of Esther's Awana children partcipated in the children's choir.
And several of her high school friends from the Saturday night High School Youth Group, the Tuesday night Senior High BSF group, and VBS also participated in the Youth Choir.
It's been a wonderful season of celebrating Esther's 17th birthday and HIS resurrection. We could literally do hundreds of public school classroom presentations if we just had the manpower. Think about coming to visit us during any holiday season. We can use your help year round!
