Sunday in India

 
When we arrived in Hyderabad, the missionary and driver (who is my friend now) met us at the airport once we went through customs. It was back to the hotel for a brief rest then off with our missionary to feel like the girl in the movie when she gets to try on all sorts of clothes. We were trying on Punjabi. They are very pretty and colorful and the staff was so helpful showing us so many of them. He took four women shopping we each bought three outfits each in less than thirty minutes. Then it was back to the hotel as they had to do a little alteration on them. They sew some sleeves on to the Punjabis.

Here I am at the Hotel in Hyderabad with the team and the missionary. God is good, all the time. We are waiting on our outfits to arrive so we women can change into one of them and head off for a 5-6 hr drive; to our prayer hut dedication in a small village.
Last night we had our first prayer hut dedication the people had to wait two and one half hours for us to arrive. We had a six hour drive to get there. It was amazing they were overjoyed and not tired after the wait.

We were greeted with lively music.
 It was truly amazing that the people would wait six hours and still want to hear preaching. They were not ready for it to end either. I think they could have sat there all night listening to God’s Word. That is how much they seem to seek the Lord.
