Easter

It was nice to be in our new home for Easter. The Easter Bunny found us all the way across the world and left New Zealand candy (lollies) and sand shovels in buckets hidden around the house. We put on our Sunday best and went to church. We had a very nice meeting with beautiful music and accounts of the Savior's crucifixion and resurrection. After church, we hid some plastic Easter eggs filled with chocolate covered raisins in our back yard and let the kids go at it. Small candy is hard to find here. They don't have bags of skittles, jelly beans, m&ms, or other candies like that we so had to improvise. The kids didn't seem to mind! A nice couple in our ward invited our crew over for a delicious Easter meal. He is a butcher so we had some amazing beef and other great food. And his wife is from Huntington Beach...small world! We are loving meeting new people and making friends. The people here are very friendly and welcoming.
