Rest and Relaxation

Monday Feb 3, 2014

Today was a fun day to get more acclimated to the time difference of 10.5 hours. We shopped in Visakhapatnam. While we were shopping our host Roa was picking Penny and Bill at the airport.  It was great to see them when we got back to the hotel.
Last night we had dinner on the patio. It was a Chinese sampler.  We got a sample of ALL appetizers and more of the appetizers we especially liked.

We got to know our host a little more and what he does.  He lives approx 220 from Vizag.  He arrived by train and has been a gracious host. A funny moment at dinner tonight. Jim Tarvin is asking everybody he sees where can he find a cobra. Roa related to us he has cobras around and IN his house all the time.  When asked how many times he has had a cobra in his house he couldn't count all the times. Then explained how to kill a cobra and that his children kill them all the time.  His children - He is guardian to 292 children.

Next week when he drops us off at the airport in Vizag he will hop a train to Kottayam for the Seminary graduation.  He said it will be about a 26 hour train ride from Vizag to Kottayam.

Tomorrow at 2:00 PM we head to Koraput and start our main reason we are here. A pastors conference and medical clinics. Until tomorrow.

Keep us in your prayers to have God show his love through us.
