Wow!! I can't believe it's February already!! We are about halfway through our outreach, which is crazy to think about!! We have about 24 days left here. We are now in Chennai. I think most of the team likes it here better. There are several different ministries going on here simultaneously, so we are split up a lot. The ministries include medical team, medical prep, day care and working at Little Lights (an orphanage), and possibly some church planting stuff for the boys. I've done the med team, day care and med prep so far. I can't wait to go work with the kids more! We're working in a lot of leper colonies here. I would love for God to work some miracles through us! On Friday, Jackie and I went to the day care. There are 2 ladies(Daisy and Nisha) that go M-F every week. We leave for that at 7:45 am, arrive around 9:45, play with and care for the kids, including potty breaks, cleaning up accidents, breaking up fights, and feeding them. There were 14 children. We left there around 2:40 and got back to the base a little before 5. They have dedication to travel 2 hours daily to care for these 1 1/2 to 3 yr olds 5 days a week while most of the parents, which have leprosy, go out and beg. They said that the reason the do it is so that the kids don't grow up thinking that is the normal thing to do. God bless them for this ministry they do that is so important!!
Today Jamie and I went with the medical team. We went with Jaya and Probul and assisted them with caring for the sores on some of the lepers.
