We have continued to have great experiences.
Yesterday we went to the home of Esmi Benjamin, who had polio when she was very young. Don Schoendorfer constructed a ramp for her wheelchair some years ago. What am amazing woman she is - such a testimony.
Then we went back to Mackies Garden and visited a couple of homes of Bethany children.
We wives met the board at the hotel at 7:30 (after they had met all day!) and we heard reports from 20 people or so - until 9:15 - and THEN we had dinner. Don felt the meetings went so well. Colleen shared with the board that she was so pleased by all that Mariners Church is doing!
We didn't go to Chinnakuppam (the tsunami village) with them today, but did go for chapel and then I went to Sponsorship to meet with Priscilla, to the handicraft center and bought some stuff and then we ended up spending about 2 hours with Colleen. What a great meeting we had.
Tonight is dinner with Colleen, Judith, Vimala and Sundari. This has been Don's women's trip!
We are praying for the memorial service today, of course. How sorry we are not to be there.
We are also praying about the weekend and that there will be many children sponsored with much new awareness and excitement about what God is doing in India.
Much love,
Mary
