Monkeying Around

I know what you are thinking and no this is not me dressed up and posing for a picture. This is one of their Hindu gods that they worship. We were riding back from Khandili and Jaykumar asks for the camera and tells us he is going to take a picture of a monkey for us and this is what we got. These types of statues are common in Bangalore, as our temples for Hindus.

This man was a Hindu that was converted to Christianity through the efforts of BBCM and ACPL. And because of his conversion he donated land for a church plant in his village. Just one of many stories like this from the pastors that are trained at this Seminary.

The next few photos are just pictures of plant life and scenery as I liked these pictures that Jeremie took during some of our travels.

If you look closely you will see a head peeking out. Jeremie and I were talking about the coconuts up there and one of the villagers heard us and came over and climbed up the tree that was almost straight up and down, and did it barefoot. Jeremie and I had our first taste of fresh coconut milk. It was different to say the least. Jeremie was not that impressed. It tasted like watered down milk with a little sweetener. It was thick like milk as well. We then ate the coconut fresh.

The camera died today and we are not able to take any pics, so we will charge them up tonight and get some more pics for you tomorrow. Jeremie is speaking at chapel tomorrow, and I spoke today. Next week will be a busy time, as Jeremie will be out of town with Jayakumar and I will be speaking 5 to 6 hours a day at times. It will be a strech for us. This weekend we will be busy with outreach to the youth and will probably not have time to post anything until Monday or longer if Jeremy takes the camera with him on his travels.

Continue to pray for energy and that God will continue to use us in His way and in His will. We love you all and look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks.
