- greatly encouraged today on my walk as God reminded me that He works in His time. I met a member of the church on the way home and got to know some of the neighbors.
- everyone really friendly here.
- will also be meting the guy from ENPHO (environment and public health organization) tomorrow. hopefully all things goes well and i can start there tomorrow. the situation here is really painful. it hurts to walk down any street, to see the 'wrongness' hurts so much.
reflectional thought for the day: perhaps can also stick this on blog
regarding photo: cows are holy in this still very Hindu dominant country. This fellow has made his way to a soccer field where kids are playing. No big deal though because animals, vehicles and people all share the same roads and parks. You might be able to see a kid in the background. But notice that there is a rope that is attached to his front leg. This makes it a pain to walk and rather difficult to lift his head. Reflection: do we as Christians have a silly rope tied to us that prevents us from looking forward and keeping our eye focused on God? All it takes is a simple lift of the leg to do free us from it, but are we aware and willing? I need help in seeing things from the perspective of locals here, I've noticed that I bring a lot of unjustified background expectations such as how mission work should go. just got back from village church, so more reflections on the day trek to the church
other photo: what if JC was here? Hindu temple...
