Going To Bombay

Tomorrow we head out for a couple days to Bombay for O.'s younger brother's graduation from Bible College.

I'm happy to go but we have to leave in the heat of the day and it's an 8 hour drive. Not my idea of fun, but it's the only way to get there.

VBS Evening Program Photos

Ok, these are the last VBS phots - I promise. We'll move on to something else soon.

These were taken the night of our closing program - last Thursday.

Kids doing actions.
More actions on stage.
Eve and Satan in the Garden skit.
The crucifixion skit - again. Check out the looks on the kids' faces.
Dance - I love the 2 little ones in red watching intently by the edge of the stage.

My Gift

Today is C.'s 3rd birthday.

Ice Cream For Dinner

Tonight was the last night for our VBS. We had a close out meeting with the parents and I just got home around 10PM. No dinner. Ice cream for all of us and bed. Both my girls have had it. E. bit C. C. keeps disturbing E. and they both just got in big trouble.

Time for bed.

* lots of pictures as soon as O. gets back from his cousin's wedding with the laptop.

83

Today was Day 1 of our four day VBS.

In our wildest dreams we expected that maybe 50 children would come. Our own Children's Home kids have gone home to their villages for summer vacation so they aren't even around.

83.

That's how many kids came today. 83.

Lots of trips to here and there for more name badge covers, juice mix and craft supplies, but in the end we happily survived.

Three days to go. At least now we know what we're up against.

Still Living On Borrowed Light

The Title about says it all. No permanent electricity here yet. Poor O. is stuck around here waiting for it when he should be at his cousin's wedding...

Good Friday

Shockingly, Good Friday is actually a goverment holiday in India. That means no electrical connection today.

We're using the borrowed light - again. And that's only b/c I came home from church at 2:00PM and started to make lunch and then the water ran out. No electricity - no water.

I went upstairs and cried in my bedroom til O. took the matters in to his own hands.

A good crying jaunt is unusually effective in getting the husbands to fix otherwise seemingly impossible siuations.
