Easter Sunday

“He is not here is has risen!” Luke 24:6

Easter Sunday was spent worshiping our Lord in Iringa, Tanzania, located about 5 hours south of Dodoma by car. The Area is beautiful, mountainous and supports a host of plants and trees I have not seen in the Dodoma region.

Our hotel was located at the top of one of the hills and you could see the city below and the mountains across. It rained almost the whole time we where there but none of us minded the refreshing coolness!
On the grounds we saw avocado , guava and citrus trees loaded with fruit, hollyhocks, lots of roses and dahlias to mention a few.

We attended Easter Service as the Anglican Cathedral where Archbishop Mtetemela was delivering the sermon, in Swahili. He paired us with a lovely New Zealand couple with four children ranging from 16-5! They translated the sermon and we where along to understand the message. The youngest was so cute and spent our time at tea in the pastors house in my lap! The hospitality was wonderful.

Outside we where greeted by Gladys, the Archbishop’s wife.

Rev. Dr. Carr and his wife also enjoyed the celebration and worship.
