Holidays

Monday and Tuesday have been holidays of some sort or another. Monday there was a city wide strike of some sort which was called by on of the leading political parties in India. This effected a lot of the travel so busses were not running and so forth. Rob's professor called it a "government sponsered holiday." We still had our monthly meeting with the pastors so those that could come still arrived and we worshipped together. We had a great time of prayer and praise. It was nice for Rob not to have to worry about school and other duties.
Tuesday is Ghandi's birthday so this too is a holiday here. The mission staff all have the day off and we can be more laid back today. Rob and Ernie are going to a Sunday school rally at one of the churches and I am going to stay back and hope for labor pains:) Having these two days to be more relazed is a blessing and gift when so many at the mission work extra frequently.
We are also preparing for my mom to come. She should arrive at 3:45 am. I am so happy that she is finally on her way and it looks like she is going to get to be there for her new grandbaby to be born... God has definately provided for us and shown us His great love for us as we have moved here. We are grateful for the way He has taken care of all of our needs.
