10 full days now

Well these past several days have been very busy... 

 

Sunday was our first day to be able to go to church here. It was so refreshing after all of the travel and the business to be able to spend the time devoted to the word and fellowshipping with brethren!  Saturday night I was able to go stay where my sister is staying. It was very nice to spend time with D_ and C_. We stayed up WAY too late talking about how we were doing and what was going on spiritually.

 

Monday, one of the families here, the D_'s left to go back to USA, so they came and had some time with us girls at the grace house before they left. I have only known them for a short time, but I am going to miss them being here. I know that it is the Lord's will for them to go back, and I know that the Lord knows way better than I.

 

Wednesday we had school and then prayer meeting.  I was so blessed to have a day of spiritual rest. The Lord really preserved me and kept me from temptation. It was such a peaceful day!

 

We lost all of our running water on Tuesday evening and didn't get it back until yesterday, Friday afternoon. Even then it has been very low, so we are still hauling buckets of water to the bathrooms. It has been difficult, but a blessing at the same time. I am working on the Prov. 31:17 of strengthening my arms.  I have also been getting a good workout going up 4-5 flights of stairs multiple times a day so that I can check on laundry.  We were able to pick up my clothes from the tailor yesterday. That is a HUGE blessing! I only had 2 pairs of bottoms and 3 kurtis, so I really did have to do laundry every day.  I am truly starting to realize exactly how spoiled I was in the US.

 

Today I went over to the W_'s to spend some time with my sister and help while Mrs. W and C_ went out to go visit someone.  I was also able to take a shower while there since they have plenty of running water, even hot running water. It has never felt so good to take a shower before in my life! EVER!  I had not had a shower since last Saturday, when I was at there.

 

I want to thank you all for your prayers. They have truly been felt. I want to Praise the Lord that my health has been preserved. I had a bit of allergy problems when I first got here, but they seem to be dissipating over time.  Please pray for India... It is a dark country in great need of salvation.

In Him
