Tom & Bev Arrive

Early this morning Tom and Bev arrived at Quiet Corner. They hung in there until lunch and then crashed for the rest of the day. The trip is long and getting as much sleep as they can will refresh them by tomorrow. All  in all they are doing fine.

Sal will preach tomorrow at Mavanhalla Bible Church. He also spoke today at the all day staff meeting for Bible Vision pastors. These men are from all over India and lead the teams that distribute the Bibles to village people in their own languages. There are about 26 languages spoken throughout India so Bibles are made available in different languages.

Elena did some work for the upcoming pastors conference which starts on Monday. She also took her daily Tamil lesson. She has been studying Tamil, the language spoken here in Tamil Nadu for two years. Having a native tutor has really been helpful because she is being taught the collloquial phrases that are used here. The locals seem delighted when she asks a question or greets them in their own language.

The sun is setting over the mountain. It is about 6:40 PM. Dinner is served late here. . .about 8:00 PM. Tom and Bev will not join us tonight. They want to sleep as long as they can.

  • Please pray we all stay healthy in the days ahead.
  • Pray Tom and Sal will be given strenghth to endure a very busy schedule teaching three long sessions per day, Monday through Wednesday and Sal speaking at the closing session on Thursday.
  • Pray for the mission team of 9 that will be arriving on Thursday for a week long mission project.
Thanks to everyone who has prayed and followed us on the blog.
