I miss the negritas!!!

"Truely I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you." Mark 11:23-24

Vicky shared this verse with me and it basically sums up the faith of the Christians I've met here. It reminds me of Elijah and Elisha who's amazingness I recently discovered in 2 Kings. Read it!

Less than 2 months to go! Today was such a long day but church was great. We sang and danced during worship. Babies were crying more than usual during the teaching but nobody cared because we were so happy that Pastor Danny was back. People don't get bothered by that kind of stuff here. Babies and small children just end up getting passed around from person to person during service. We are getting familiar with everyone in the congregation now and since we are picking up some Hindi being social isn't so awkward anymore. haha.

I found out today that the church has 86 cell groups with a total of 1200 adults and 1300 children! ..At the same time there are 3.2 million people in this city.

Caanaa achaatha means the food is tasty... a sentense we will be repeating to a lot of people this week as we get invited to more and more houses for dinner. The family we've been staying with hasn't been letting us do that because they know that the food will be too spicy for us... but i guess they think we're ready for it... hopefully we've picked up enough tricks after a month to eat a spicy meal without running away to stick our burning faces in the sink.
