A children's home full of LITTLE GIRLS learns that they can be instruments of God's truth and healing as they hear the story about a little girl from the land of Israel told her mistress about 
the prophet Elisha. Naaman went there, was told to dip in the muddy waters of the river Jordan and was healed of his leprosy.Craft time included coloring pictures that went with Naaman's story and scratching off the black from a cross bookmark to reveal rainbow colors underneath.
Let the games begin! The water balloon toss went on and on in the hot sun. The balloons were tough to break, but oh the screams when they did!
Karen's birthday was also celebrated, with a small cake and candle. Additional treats and cake were gi
ven to all the girls too. Rick took off in the afternoon to go shopping in Hubli. Had a dusty, crowded bus ride with Mr. Dinakar and didn't get home until late! He was able to purchase some treats for the girls - nailpolish, talcum powder, crayons or paint and a brush for each of the 67 young ladies. They each came forward to receive these items, shaking our hands and saying thank you.

Enjoy your last week- we are sure it will be hard to leave. We just finished watching " Slumdog"- although a secular film, one that certainly portrays the sheer number of souls and conditions of everyday life in India. It is easy to see why you have a heart for these people and the many needs. Travel safe!
