It's February. Just 2 or 3 days shorter than every other month, but for some reason it always feels crunched to me.
O. came home from Rajasthan this morning and told me someone invited us to a house opening on the 14th so we'd have to leave on the 13th (it's about 8 hours away). We have a bunch of guests coming on the 17th and 18th and our choir is invited to lead worship in a church in Rajasthan on the 23rd and 24th. As far as I know neither one of us are going for that.
I have two ladies coming on the 25th and staying in to the first few days of March. P.'s first birthday is March 1st and we'll be in Rajasthan so we'll be celebrating that on February 27th (most likely.)
This week - Ha! we didn't even go there yet, is full of Bible College activities. A big one, the picnic, is on Thursday.
Lot's of fun this month - it's gonna zip on by...

Last Week
O. arrived home in the early hours of Tuesday morning (last week) with his sister and another guest.
O. was home and rest time is over! The woman my sister-in-law brought was an old grandmotherly widow who was so sweet and loving she about wore me out.
She was widowed young and left with four small children. Her children are grown now and have their own children and Mummy (as we called her) had a great testimony to tell. Twelve years ago she came to know the Lord. Her three daughters also accepted the Lord. However, her son, whom she lives with, remains Hindu and doesn't allow his mother to read the Bible, go to church or pray openly.
While she was at my house she delighted in being able to pray and read her Bible and speak the Word of God whenever she wanted. My sister-in-law said she kept her up at night with praying. :)
She wept when she left here and wouldn't let us go. She's just starved for the things of the Lord. And we take these same things for granted.

Hotel O
We do stay busy around here. Not just that we have lots of guests coming and going, but I've been especially busy with E. & C. the last few days because they are in the midst of final exams. The Indian school year ends this month. By next week we'll be into summer vacation. Arg.
I'm also trying to get my consular appointment for P.'s passport, US birth certificate, and SS #. We should be heading to Bombay to take care of that in May. (Our little vacation...)
Actually, we're planning to be in the US from mid-July to mid-Sept. This is kind of a pre-notice about that. You can keep it in mind.
This is also a strange free flowing blog post without much of a main point although I think was going to write about the various guests that stay in our house.
Last week we had an interesting crew that just showed up. Well, we had a little notice that some people would be coming but not much. It turns out that one of the guests is the writer of Christian worship songs in Hindi and that he's written at least three songs that we sing all the time. Like, Christians all over India (who worship in Hindi) sing all the time. Somewhat exciting. The Christian community in India is pretty close knit I guess, yet, although there are only 2-4% Christians in the entire country - when you're talking 2-4% of over a billion people, that's still a lot of people...
