New Year's Eve Day

We blessed the new air conditioner donated by Dean Mausolf's parents.

Whatever medicines are not dispensed at the medical camps are then distributed back at GSM. We learned that the word in Telagu for pharmacy is mondula shop. We also learned the word for go is po. People at the camps apparently thought they were to visit each room. After checking their prescription slip and realizing they had already seen the doctor, we would say--mondula shop po


We visited the Bone Setter's Hospital this morning. The doctors are all related and use egg and mixes it with leaves and herbs. While waiting at the railroad crossing, the tailor came by looking for Doug & Pete to measure!! The tailor at the train crossing.


We spent a little bit of time touring the cottages at the HIV/AIDS Center. We are removing rocks and helping spread the dirt in the prayer garden. The rakes had a big shovel part and a little handle--yes, we had to stay bent over to push the dirt around.

The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden. -Isaiah 58:11 (NRSV)
