He is Risen!

What a busy and difficult April we have had! Where has the month gone? This month we have dealt with a lot of sickness. Aaron had an intestinal infection that is hopefully now under control as well as back troubles that put him flat on the floor for a couple of days. He said that all the back massages the girls gave him really helped him heal quicker :). We also had our first bout of head lice. We found it on both girls and boy was this a nightmare. We have never dealt with it before and never want to have it again. For a week we were washing everything everyday and nit picking for hours upon hours. The other bad part about this is that Brie was asked the week before to give the Easter early service devotional for the church. But because of the work it took to get rid of the lice she wasn't able to prepare very well. She was able to get it done but pretty much had to read what she wrote in Spanish with the lack of time to know the devotional better. But it all worked out. The early service was held at 6am with the emphasis on the women that came to the tomb in the early morning on the day of the Resurrection. Because of this emphasis a lot of Baptist churches here allow the women to lead the Sunday services on Easter Sunday, which is why Brie was asked to give the devotional. Also on this Sunday the women all wear white. Brie and Mylee were able to attend a 15th birthday party that was held at the church as well this month. Aaron was sick on the day of the party and was unable to attend and Evie stayed home to take care of her Daddy :). This was the first one we have attended since being in Mexico and was surprised at how much time and money were put into this celebration (picture a wedding and reception). Below are a few pictures from this month including Easter and the 15th Birthday and a few other fun pictures of the girls. Enjoy!
