week 4

Hello everybody!
We are still alive and good in India. We have enjoyed some fun days this week. On our day off on Monday we went swimming at a hotel. We had the pool to ourselves and came back nice and pink! The next day, the staff we are with at the office took us out for a day at a park and yesterday they took us for a city tour of Hyderabad! We went to a zoo and saw elephants, tigers, bears and all that jazz. We ate at a proper indian restuarant which is actually very like the ones at home, only completely packed with Indians. And then we went to see a really big and beautiful fort. We climbed the many steps to the top in the hot hot heat, preperation for the Himalayas I think!
Today the office staff are leaving for a weeks conference in the South. (I think this is why we've been treated this week.) And so for the next few days our team will be home alone! I think we will be doing some prayer walks, helping with some church planting ministry and we will have a youth retreat at the end of the week. However the plans often change around here.
We've had ministry this week too. We have been some more with dts students from Hyderabad, teaching dramas fro their outreach. We have done programme at a couple HIV aids orphanages. I think we all really enjoyed to go their and be with the kids and we made good contact with the leader who was a westerner :) Last night we did slum ministry for prehaps the last time! which was a bit sad i found.
As a team we are doing good. We are very thankful to God who has kept us mostly in good health! God is continually working in us as individuals and as a team. He is the best ever!
God bless from the India team, through Lucy.
