Mo Sickness

Well we are all recovering from the flu here in Chennai. Rob was sick for a couple of days and he shared his germs with Moriah so she was sick as well. I have not been able to write because those two have kept me busy. All my Indian friends here are sure that Moriah got sick because of the "chill" which is 85 degrees and because I drink cold water... Some things I have learned just to grin and nod at. They do not understand the concept of germs and though I have tried tirelessly they just can't believe that germs cause illness so I just need to listen and love:) Most importantly, everyone seems to be getting better now and for that we are very thankful. Moriah is sleeping a little more than usual still but she is definetely back to her happy and bright personality.
We did have a visitor from the states this week which was very nice. Steve Brown is the President of Berkshire Institute for Christian Studies. He planned to come to Chennai for a class he was taking and wanted to visit the mission as well. We took him to church with us at Immanuel Ragu's church and he was able to experience a baptism in the lake by the church. It was encouraging to have a visit and to meet with Ragu's church. The people continue to be very sweet and loving.
