The Final Days

Today and tomorrow will be our final days here at QCI. We are in the throws of packing and organizing. This is no job for the fainthearted. We will be heading back to Bangalore on Friday. Instead of the usual 7 hour car ride, we have decided to try the rail system from Mysore. We will be driven there (about 2 hours) and then take the express train (about 2 hours). Our luggage will come by car and we will be picked up at the station in Bangalore.

Yesterday Bev and I visited the Elderly Feeding Program. There were about 12 people present. They are given a good amount of rice and dahl to take home. Many of these people are frail, deaf and have poor eye sight. We made up speci
al tote bags for each one. They included a sweater and some soap, shampoo and candy. Many of these dear people asked for prayer and were happy that we came to visit them.

Nila and Her Puppy

In the late afternoon Sal and I along with Pastor Vasu and Deva went to Bokkapuram Village to pay a quiet visit to Prayma and her family. It was a happy visit. Prayma is 12 and her sister, Nila, is 14. The father, Raj, and mother, Monju, were very welcoming and happy that we have a special love for their daughter.

The girls attend an English immersion school and are doing

nicely in learning our language. I asked them if they would like an English Bible. They both said yes so we will shop for that in Bangalore and have it sent to them. There were lots of hugs and kisses as we said goodbye and how we are looking forward to the next time we are together.

I will write one final blog after we arrive in Bangalore. It has been a most interesting trip. On March 6 we will be back at Lake Country Bible Church. Sal will preach a message based on this trip. We will have a video that highlights parts of the trip. You are welcome to come if you are in our area. And stay for lunch when team members will be sharing about the time spent here at Quiet Corner India.
