Namaste,
In the last two days it has pretty much rained the whole time, this is the joy of the monsoon season! The last couple of days have been interesting as the team have got over the high of arriving in Goa and are relying on God's strength to get them through the day.
At 8:45 we get picked up in a bright yellow bus by a guy called Lucky - what an awesome name - and we travel the short but memorable journey to the small boys home. As you drive down the hill supposedly on the left side of the road you are fixated on the colourful houses surrounded by cows, stray dogs and litter all over the floor.
Yesterday was the day that we finished painting a room in the small boys home. We also realised that the consequences of getting paint all over the floor was that we had to get down on our hands and knees and scrub the worst of it off!
In the evening we went and joined the worship team as we rehearsed for the service on Sunday morning. As we walked through the door of a small room cluttered with instruments and cables we were immediately struck by how hot it already was.
Then we plugged our instruments in and began to make some noise the stench of smelly boys (and maybe a few girls) became even more apparent. Though the smell was bad, it was incredible to join with worshippers from the other side of the world but yet still be united by one God.
Today we embarked on an adventure to a spice farm where we had a tour around 2 out of 150 acres of land and also had a bath on an elephant. This involved sitting on the elephant as it picked up water with its trunk, spraying it all over you.
As a team we would love you to pray for:
- continued protection from sickness
- renewed energy
- sleep
- good quality time with the girls as we spend more time at their home.
We hope you are our well and we look forward to sharing with you again soon!
Love from the SMGoa team
