Marla and I were able to visit with another ministry here in Pune yesterday that my brother has been connected with for many years. They do many things for the poor and those needing justice, including trafficked women and children not able to go to school because they are forced to work for their parents.
Last night the international food party was a smashing success. There were 18 of us altogether, singing, eating, sharing stories and playing games. Here are Marla and Analia preparing food for it. Marla made an apple crisp and mashed potatoes to represent US food. We had people from Turkistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iran, Bolivia, India and, us from the good old USA. Things started winding down by 1:45 am. We went to bed at 2 and there were still three visitors here, talking with M & A. Sohel was the life of the party until he went to bed around 10.
It is now about 12:30 pm and our taxi arrives at 2:30 to pick up the 5 of us with our luggage for the trip to Mumbai. Marla and I have a very inexpensive hotel reservation where the Clarks will hang out until their taxi comes to take them to the airport for a flight leaving at 1 am on Sunday, the 23rd. Marla and I will stay until Sunday evening when we will also take a taxi for a 1 am flight on the 24th. We hope to find a church Sunday morning that is in the Hindi language.
Thanks again for your prayers. Lord willing we will see you soon.
