Celebrate with us!

Mr. Richard Chamberlain, a missionary with Master Builders has asked for Soso's hand in marriage and she has accepted! Richard has been in Kodai for 7 years now and has 2 wonderful children, Hannah (19) and Aaron (17). They are planning a late December wedding in Siliguri (where Soso's parents live) and a reception mid-January for all their friends in Kodai.

Food!

We now have a new cook ~ below is a photo of Lakshmi

Also, please remember the girls in your prayers: monsoon rains bring sickness and all the girls now have a bad cough and fever. The house mothers: Eunice, Tharmi, Timna and Jayanthi along with my assistant, Lucky and the cook (Lakshmi) are working round the clock caring for them. Pray these ladies have strength, good health and patience.
