| Evening prayer meeting with Tribal peoples. Sad thing, the other Christians in the village didn't show up. |

| Tom found an old friend. The girl worked in Lanka's kitchen for several years. She is done with school and likely will marry soon. She is maybe 16-17. Her mother to the right. |
We left Sam & Becka's house this morning at 10:30 AM. We had a "short" 4 hour ride. Short because it was on a new 4 lane highway. The trip used to be 7 hours. We arrived at Lanka's compound around 3:00 PM to the traditional welcome with flowers and clapping students. After we were settled we had a delicious meal prepared by Bushi, or Joyce as she is now called. We had a short service with some pastors this evening to encourage them and then attended a short service a few minutes from the compound with some tribal people (low caste). Unfortunately the Christians from other castes didn't come, even though Lanka - a high caste person when he was Hindu (Christians supposedly leave the caste system behind but the traditions still linger at times)- came.
Tune in tomorrow to hear what Leroy has to say!
