Wednesday's Activities









The Pictures: Some of the ladies at the home;  Their Kitchen: Darin Kennedy; Lee's Summit, MO. ; Jim Kelly, Asher, OK. Scott Elliot; Wilburton, OK (Bro Sadguna Rao translating for Darin and Scott.  Bro. Joshua Gootam translating for Jim.)
It has been another full day of work and study.  The schedule here calls for 6 lecture periods per day and those are interspersed with teaching preachers, visiting elderly and children's homes, Etc. Sometimes if there are native preachers  preaching in the assemblies, (None of us speak Telegu!) the rest of us are working in the other areas. The church here operates a home for elderly ladies---all of whom have no one to care for them but these loving christians.  There are about 30 in the home right now. It is a small house and all these elderly ladies sleep on the floor, cook in a small kitchen room. Baths are ----- well, you wouldn't understand! We talked about some way to put beds in but there is simply no room for furniture.  They are glad to have food and a roof over their heads but it still tears at your heart and conscience to see elderly ladies having to live like that.
