Well, I've been in India for one month now. This weekend was nice. On Friday it was Indepedence Day and we were invited to a church to participate in their service. I had a chance to participate in the singing contest, performing Steve Bell's "Wings of an Eagle" and eight of us team members performed a dance to "This is my Desire". During the message I was a little distracted by the geckos on the wall chasing a dragonfly that was fluttering around the lights! In my room at the house there is a little gecko that usually spends the night on the wall close to the ceiling - I call him our "little friend."
On Saturday the whole team was invited to the home of the pastor of the church we have been attending and we had a good time of worship and games. The pastor was also very encouraging, telling us examples from his own experience of how the Lord has provided for him and his family and praying for each of us individually. We had a very good dinner of chicken and rice and beef stew which we shared with other church members who came to visit with us. I so appreciate the hospitality.
This past week our lectures were on the subject of "Submission to Authority" and we looked at the life of King David and of Jesus as our exemplars. It was a very good series and so pertinent for life as a Christian. Please pray that I will continue to open my heart to accept God's love for me and to stop trying to earn love from Him and from others.
Thank you all for your prayers and emails.
In Christ,
Amy
