Easter in Ubon

Easter in Ubon was great! We had many people come to church and it was exciting! It was so hot while we were there for Easter and so the electricity kept going out. We already do not have air in Ubon but now we don't even have fans....It was so hot!! So we got a candle and we all sat around it and finished our tasks for the morning!

They have a few traditions here that are different than the ones we have in America. They made hard boiled eggs and then the pass them out to neighbors. This is the picture of the little packages that we made!

They also do not die their eggs, they paint on them. It is fun to see what they painted and we gave 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for the best eggs! It was fun and the kids loved it!

These are some of the girls that came for Easter! Their English is very good and so we talked and they asked me all the questions that they knew! They ask the usual ones, "What is your name?", "How old are you?", "How many brothers and sisters do you have?", "Where are you from?", "How long have you been in Thailand?", and then they ask their favorite question. The one that they have wanted to ask the whole time but had to wait. "Do you have a boyfriend?" and when I say "no", they FREAK out! It is always the same thing! Someday I will be able to say "yes" to that question! :)
