I have been struggling to try and reach the ladies that are a part of the ministries in Chennai. I want to learn more about their lives and their struggles. I am amazed at all they do and all they put up with but I cannot figure out how to help their situations. The women we work with are typically full time homemakers. They work tirelessly at preparing food and taking care of their familes. I learned that even a few years ago many of our mission workers were still cooking by fire because they could not afford a gas stove! Imagine 100 degree weather in Chennai and cooking all day over a fire. Indian cooking is very time consuming so ladies spend most of the day doing this. Either way, the women here have little time for relaxing and talking to the missionary... It seems I am going to need to be more creative in my approach:)
