its finally friday!!!

friday is here which means saturday brings with it a chance to rest, relax and spend more time with people. did a workshop on back care with the community ladies today and said good bye to some regular patients. God is good :) got to visit the city palace. India has soooo much history! I was standing there at the highest point of the palace looking out over the city...big houses, small houses, many houses...squeezed together, spaced out, all fit together on this barren yet beautiful land...all of Udaipur lay there, spread out before my eyes and all of a sudden it hit me again. I wondered how many people in this city knew Him as Saviour. I wondered how many homes are alight in His joy. the magnitude of those that do not know Christ. so many men, women, children. and yet Udaipur is ONE city in ONE nation. there are so many more cities in so many more nations. the earth is full of unreached peoples and unreached lands. there is SO much work to be done. SO many people waiting for answers. there really needs to be more people that will leave everything to follow Him into these unreached communities spread out all over the world.

joined a community women's cell group that meets quite often. wow. these are hungry women. women that yearn to know Christ more. from as young as 16 to as old as 60. they were all there for Him. women that have such great testimonies of deliverance. one of them was describing Jesus visiting her as she lay totally sick. Immediately she was healed of her sickness. got to encourage them about being prayer warriors for their families because most of them are the first to believe. had a great time of prayer and fellowship. really want to get to know their families more. can't wait to see their children reached and their relationships restored!

love the walk back from the clinic. I am getting used to the fragnance of cow dung, and i say fragnance because it really is a unique smell that India is incomplete without :) coming back to the base always fills me with much joy. seeing children and students alike scurrying along with their plates to get dinner, others warming themselves by the fire, and yet others studying in the library. this place is so unlike any other. alive with the hope, love and joy of Christ. :) another beautiful night in Udaipur, He dwells in this camp! :)
