Painting Eggs

Ward Easter Activity -- Apr 18, 2009

We painted eggs, not just colored them! I'd never heard of such a thing. And they took the insides out first so now I can proudly display my beautiful eggs at my house :)

Yvonne: "You can keep them forever."
Me: "Nope. There's no way they'll make it back to America."
Yvonne: "Oh right. They would break."
Me: "YOU get to keep them forever! ha ha"


Our paints. They were too watered down, so we just used the paint directly from the containers. But Joy & I did a pretty good job of mixing colors!!

A cute boy sitting next to me.

I liked him because he would say English phrases. Yeah!

They said my egg reminded them of the circus. Alright. It would have been better if I had stopped sooner :) I painted another egg but didn't take any pictures of it.

Sister missionaries! Sis Lin & Sis O'Rourke. Sis Lin has been in this area for a really long time - but she's awesome and we love her.

Lunch = dumplings. Yum!

Fun project. The American Sister Missionary is cute. Do you get to see her very much? How does she do with the language? How long has she been out?

My grandpa was on a mission in Hawaii in 1885. He helped maintain the equipment for the sugar beet plantation and refinery. He lamented that he couldn't teach the gospel because he didn't know the language, but he was very valued for what he did. I guess this has nothing to do with eggs. Just noticed the cute missionary in the picture.

Love you!
