Global Talk

Hello all!

I know it has only been a week since my last update, but we're in Bangalore for the weekend, so I'm taking advantage of this connection and sending a picture to everyone! [not included here]

This last week was fantastic. Jay and Naresh brought a few hundred plants from a nursury in Bangalore because we are re-landscaping part of the grounds at Green Valley. This also involves painting the outside of the swimming pool and one side of one of the buildings. I got in on some of the painting action, so that was a blast. I love getting dirty! The picture attached is me after painting, Stephanie in the middle and Amber on the left, just sitting on the floor in our room.

During the next two weeks us three ladies will be teaching a class on the parables of Jesus... we will do some formal lecture-style teaching and then have a few sessions to do skits of some parables with all the students, so we're really looking forward to that. Pray for clear, focused minds as we study and teach.

Two weeks from today we have two more Canadians joining the team here at Green Valley... my boyfriend, Mark, and Carolyn who was with me here during the second term of school last year. You can pray that their journey would be safe.

This last Wednesday was our second afternoon of community outreach. Stephanie and Amber went with students again and were helping to dig in a foundation for a new building in the village. Please continue to pray that villagers would see Christ in this practical demonstration of His love.

Please also continue to pray for our student, Michael. He returned to Green Valley but is still experiencing some stomach pain and almost went home to Burma. He has decided to stay but is still needing medical attention.

Hope you are all well! It will be a while until my next update as we will be very busy in the next two weeks.

Take care,
Katie
