Fun In The Sun

Well on a good note things are starting to slow down a bit around this part of the world. The last couple of days were a little more on the relaxing side than the rest of the trip has been. On Friday afternoon we were sort of taken back by a surprise meeting. It was more of a farewell to us as we were leaving Bapatla today(Sunday). We were given our new outfits, jewellery and shown some videos on the ministry around India. We also were able to help out at a medical camp in a small village on Friday morning. We had to take a small boat across a canal to get to the village where we first had a small church service before the medical camp began. On saturday Sarah and myself (Tasha) slept until 2 in the afternoon, we must have needed it. We were woken up just in time to catch the boys before they headed to the beach. But we decided to stay in our rooms where it would be way cooler and better scenery! Just Kidding!!!! The beach was amazing!!! We went to the seashore which was only 9km from the house. 9km here takes about 20 min of driving manoeuvering around heards of water buffalo, goats, rickshaws, motorcylcles, auto rickshaws, bikes, buses, people, tractors and the list goes on (no joke). The seashore borders the Bay of Bengal. The weather was very warm about oh let's say 28 degrees. The perfect sun tanning temperature, not too hot, not too cold! At one point the driver moved the jeep so that we could have some shade. Things were starting to heat up a little too much. But not too worry the ice cream man made several stops by our blankets.It was nice to have a day of rest after so many late nights and busy days. We have arrived safetly back in Chirala for the rest of our journey. It felt like home again to return after being gone for some time. We will continue teaching this week at St. Paul's but only in the afternoon. This week is examination week at the school. Please pray for the studies of the children as they write their exams all week. We will also be traveling in the evening for more gospel meetings, please pray for safe travels and open hearts and minds. I am over my cold, Sarah is feeling alot better, and Kevin is up to Par! Christian and Ian are starting to catch bits and pieces of the bug but remain strong fighters in their will. Continued prayer for health will always be appreciated around here.Thanks again for your continued prayers and supportThe girls
