Nagercoil Day 4

Well, we realized that our internet connection in India is very unreliable. The only time we are able to access the internet is between 3 to 6 in the morning our time. It is an inconvience but we are adjusting to it. Day 4 started off with us going to church. We really enjoyed the fellowship with other believers even though we could undertand very little. After church we traveled back to the Spurgeon's home where we spent time getting ready for our first meeting of the day with the girls. At 10:50 a.m., we traveled to the Charity Home to enjoy the girls again. Upon arrival, they were excited as the first time they saw us. Our time was truly a blessing to us. We shared the gospel message with the girls and the Hindu ladies. After our time with the girls, we left to have lunch Indian style--fingers only. We are truly being educated in the Indian culture and food. We are all enjoying the food even though it is spicy. After lunch, we can home and practiced for the evening with the girls. We practiced the skit and music. When it was time to leave, the Kat, Mykaela, Kristin and Elizabeth were excited to return to see the girls again. Each one of us have grown to love them as our own. We cannot understand how girls can be rejected by the Indian cultural; however, we made an effort to love them as much as we can. After our service, we had the privilege to eat dinner with them and we were given a tour of their sleeping arrangements. We left blessed. We thank God for what Dr and Mrs Spurgeon are doing for these girls by encouraging them to learn a trade or skill and do the best they can educationally.

This morning, 02-14-11, the girls were blessed to speak with their parents via Skype starting at 5:00 a.m. (our time). Everybody is talking about the crafts as I type about the wonderful things God is doing here and the wonderful time we are having with the Charity Home girls.

Thank you for your prayers.

In Christ Alone,
