Jingles and Baldness

Rani brought Moriah a gift of jingles last night. The baby girls here wear anklets with little bells on them and they make a pretty sound. Rani insisted that Moriah is an "Indian Baby" and therefore she must have jingles also. Moriah loves them. She kicks her feet and laughs when they make sounds. All the people that saw Moriah today were so excited to see the jingles. I also learned that all Indian babies get their heads shaved around 7 months old and again at a year old... I told everyone that Moriahs grandparents would be very angry if we allowed her head to be shaved. (Although she truly would be a little Rob if she was bald) They say that babies get colds when their hair gets wet... (Remember that oranges also cause head colds:)
Anyways, Rob was able to go with Neil Armstrong to visit some possible Muslim ministry sites in Chennai. Neil has struggled for months with health problems and his families health. Everyone is finally better so we are trying to find a place for him to minister to the Muslims in Chennai while he waits for proper documents to go back to Malaysia.
