June 18

What a day we had yesterday!  We took care of Sohel in the morning (what a blast!) as Michael took Analia to the doctor's office for results of her tests.  She is still having liver problems and stomach pain but they have given her some good advice and some medications. In the afternoon we drove through horrendous traffic to meet with and have a late lunch with Q and his two Mlm brothers, along with two other roommates that are also Mlm. They all came from Afg...stan and have been living in Pk...stan for many years. Currently they are here as students in Pune.  Michael has been meeting with them for several months and has known Q for many years.

Conversations over lunch (they insisted on paying) and then afterwards on a long walk in the misting rain for 4 kilometers (God granted me special use of my feet for that walk) were enlightening and, I believe, God-directed. They are all wonderful young men and are very open to talking about Jesus.

After the walk they invited us to the apartment they share, for green tea.  It was wonderful. By now it was 8:30 and when Michael explained that we had to get the baby home, they offered a spare room for him to sleep in so that we could stay for a meal they would prepare and for games and more discussion. We respectfully declined, and after praying for all of them, we returned home.

This is an example of the kind of ministry the Clrks are involved in on a regular basis.

We invited them to a party on Friday night. They all plan to be there. Please pray for this time. Please continue to pray for Analia and her health problems. Thanks for your prayers for us during this trip. It is obvious to us that many of you are bringing us before the Throne.
