We are in Hyderabad on our way home. We are thankful to be here. The violence has escalated and waned by the day. We were glad they started their foolishness before we got to Khamaam. The roads are blocked and we would probably been days getting here--if at all! We had to cancel the preachers workshop for Monday in Khamaam and village meetings up the road on Tuesday. Because we had to fly rather than drive, we have a LONG layover here but have rented a room in a hostel here in the airport. The room is only 10X12 but has a bed, bathroom, TV and internet hookup. It is wall to wall! It has no room for our luggage so they store that for you but it is clean and nice--just small. We are glad to have it....it would have been tough staying 16 hours out in the airport. We get a 4:30 wakeup call for a 7:45 flight out. Our last couple of days have been busy and rewarding. They want us to come back every year but I don't know about that. They are to publish my sermons in Telugu again this year, one per month in their monthly magazine. I am humbled by such an opportunity as we have had here inn India and thank God he has used us to His Glory. Elaine says we are doing nothing until after the first of the year when we get home---no reports --nothing---just chill for a while. We are both tired but happy we have been able in some small way to help these people. I will contact all my support groups to make reports shortly. I have posted here a couple of pictures of some of our work. Th one is of one of the preachers homes and the other is some of the preachers in the workshop in Narsipatnam. God bless us all in His service.
