5 months feels more like 5 weeks in this country...

Okay, so I haven’t gotten any better at this obviously. I haven’t actually gotten worse though. It’s been five months again. Time really flies. It seems like just a few weeks ago that I wrote my last post. So much has happened since then though. I left Delhi, went to Pune a few weeks for meetings and such, then finally reached the city G has called me to at the end of November. I got two cameras stolen my first day here. After weeks of house hunting and waiting on the way India does things, we finally moved into our house after Christmas. We spent Christmas day in the slums passing out gifts and telling the story of our Savior’s birth. January came and with that three teams came over from the US, and two weeks of that month was spent in a city up north doing language study. The time we got to spend with the teams was wonderful, and we saw God move in ways we didn’t expect. Much fruit was seen from the efforts of these teams. In February I was so blessed to have an amazing friend/little sister come join our team for the entire month. It was an incredible time, and although I was sick a lot of that month, it was so good to have her here. March flew by as well. From the groups in Jan, two women’s groups were started. Martha is leading one and I’m leading another. Much of March was spent getting things in line for these groups, while doing logistics for a team that came at the end of the month. We had a team from New Orleans here the last week in March. They were focusing on Muslims, and it was a very challenging week. April is now here. We are busy getting back into language while also preparing for many summer volunteers. I have started doing Bible storying in a fishing village among believers there who just aren’t getting fed the Word because they cannot read. God is also doing wonderful things in a girl I have gotten to know. A friend and I shared the Gospel with her in March and on Good Friday, she accepted Christ. She is so in love with JC and I’m so excited to see where the Lord takes our friendship and also excited to see the things He does through this new believer whose love for the Savior is contagious. We are staying busy busy busy, but Praise Him for the work He is doing in this city and the laborers He is raising up both in this country and through teams from the States that He has called to work here for a season. I really want to be more specific about what God is teaching me. I want to get better at this blogging thing. ☺ We’ll see again how it goes. Hopefully, I won’t fail you this time. God Bless…
