Serving Love

Three weeks have passed us by already. It's gone so quickly, I know that before I even realise we'll be heading home. Which is a sad thought because I'm really loving it here and I want to make the most of my time here.
India is such a strangely beautiful place. Its colourful and vibrant, the buildings are tall, twisting and usually brightly colored. The people are also energetic and friendly and in a sense they too, are colourful. The food is a lot of the same, rice, rice and rice, but with enough difference in curries and sauces to make it delicious and exciting to see what we get to eat each day.
This week was a hodge-podge week of minstry. On tuesday we went to an old person/mental home. Initially when we walked in and I saw the conditions I was a little worried about what I might see. Indian homes are a lot different to western ones. We were shown to a dorm-room where some mentally challenged ladies stayed. It was a bit awkward at first, but it turned out to be really fulfilling. The ladies were so friendly and funny and I know they were genuinely blessed by our presence. I know some of the team got to pray with some of the ladies towards the end.
On Wednesday we had some meetings, which is nothing exciting to talk about..
Friday ans and Saturday we helped out with some other VBS's. They were Tamil speaking, so it was interesting to say the least. When we arrived we almost caused a riot as the kids would jump up and swarm us for hand shakes, high fives and even autographs. It was difficult to get them to pay attention to what we were saying and not imitating us or shaking our hands. The kids were so funny though, the leaders would put some music on and the kids would immediately get up and start grooving. It was hectic.
Yesterday we went to yet another church. We performed another skit, (The clincher) led worship, and Kyle spoke a sermon on radical love. Then we sat in on their Tamil service which was, to be frank, a little boring when you don't speak the language.
This week will be another week of unknowns, but I'm excited to do more of Gods will, and show more of His love. Thinking of you back home in the cold.
