I stayed home and did not go to the missionary prayer meeting. My teammates called to invite me to go to the village with them the next morning. to celebrate Easter.
In the village church I sat with the ladies. I saw a woman with a scarf on her head and remembered Africa. We sang songs about Easter long ago.
The children got up to sing. They wandered up one at a time, no one wanting to be the first. One little girl stood alone in the front until all the others had followed their friends up. Then the little girls' friends followed her.
Coming home I fell asleep in the car, and my teammates had to wake me up when we reached my house. In the garden the sun shone on the lilies from the west, and made them look almost red.
