First of all… a BIG THANK-YOU for all of you who took the time to write to Marco… He really appreciated it… (I think he’ll start sending more letters now!!!) We’ve been meaning to respond but the last week or two have been crazy…

Easter is just around the corner… Here it is called “Holy Week”…
“Religious” people here have started their processions; others go to the extreme of whipping themselves… Others are finishing up their 40 days of Lent - giving up something they really like after their unlimited “freedoms” of Carnaval (Mardi Gras). Christians are planning sunrise services… and getting together for breakfast…
Easter truly is worth celebrating – Jesus’ death and resurrection - the meaning of our life, our belief – not limiting Jesus to a helpless baby in a manger or a “dead body” on a crucifix… He is Christ Jesus – the acceptable sacrifice for our sins… ALIVE… so we can have meaning in our own life and look forward to being with Him forever too…
