We spent yesterday packing all of the 102 outfits we bought for the children and organizing them. We also realized that our last pile of seven shorts didnt make it into our bage so we had to head back to Pothy's for 7 more pairs of shorts for the boys. Silly of me to think that buying 7 shorts would take less time. Rani, Grace, and Rosemary came along also and we ended up doing a little Christmas shopping as well. Rani wanted to buy dresses for her granddaughters and I bought a dress for my neice and my other "daughter" Laura. We also looked at materials for clothes and things. The ladies had a lot of fun. As we were standing outside waiting for Raja to pick us up, some one must have dumped gallons and gallons of water off the building. It looked like it started raining but just over us. I couldnt believe that they just dumped water out the window on a crowd of people! I jumped for cover pretty quickly but Rani was not as lucky. I just dont want to know what was in the water...
Anyways, Rob also had a day long meeting about education needs for the pastors. We are trying to figure out the best way to develop leaders here. A major obstacle is that there are very few resources in Tamil. There is also still a huge need for family counseling. These families have major issues to deal with. They have had their marriages arranged and the format of Indian families is complicated. It will be difficult for an American to effectively connect with these families.
