India Update...

Well, it's certainly been a fascinating couple of days. Yesterday Doug & I went to have a look at the plot of land that has been purcahsed to provide grazing for buffalo and a paddy field to support the work of Liberty Children's Home. It's all being prepared well, the one delay now is waiting for a transformer for the water pump and then things will start moving in earnest. Then into the "village" of Chintalapudi to get a feel for the sights and especially sounds of cars, buses, bikes cattle and people all competing for space on the roads, as well as stopping by the clothes shop for a bottle of "Thums Up" (Diet Coke to us Brits!) with the owner. Then we've already had a church service this morning which was a great occasion. I'm discovering so many hidden talents of Doug's; not only did he share a brief word, but he was given a microphone to lead a song in Telugu. He didn't seem keen to join the worship group at WCF though for some reason. Anyway, there's talk of a cricket match in a few minutes so I need to conserve my strength....more soon.
