We spent the day today in the village of Yeluru, about an hour and a half from Kakinada. They have a nice building in this little town out in the country. They have no seating, so they sit in the floor and listen. We went through rice and sugar cane fields all along the way in very beautiful areas. They greeted us like royalty with flower Lei's and throwing flowers as we came. Amazing! Humbling! All the men spoke for a while, with Joshua Gootam translating.
After lunch the men went walking through this little village and Elaine spoke to about 50 ladies. She spoke to them on the scriptures teaching about "How to be Truly Beautiful." Bro. Gootam again translated. I did not get to hear her since they made all the men leave, but Joshua said she did a great job. Judging by the response, he was right---they just mobbed her after services. We could not hardly get her away so we could leave. I am very proud of her since I know how hard it was for her to do this. She really fits the scriptures description of beautiful! To have a woman speak to them is rare and they obviously loved it. There were 4 young women baptized at this village today.
