After struggling a bit with lonliness and depression the past few days - not to mention the past few months - it was truly wonderful to go to an Easter sunrise service this morning. I got a ride from Phil and Mari Manning, who work with Pactec here in Nouakchott, and we went down to the beach at about 6:30. The service was in French and English (which made me happy!), and I got to sing good songs and meet some nice people. It was so wonderful to have that feeling of fellowship after so many months away! This afternoon I'm going to have lunch with some people my age that I met there, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know them. I know it would be so much easier to keep my attitude and emotions in line if I could get to church more often. It's hard to do alone.
Happy Easter!
