Well, this new situation has presented itself with it's own challenges, to say the least. I am teaching the book of James to 32 second year students at the women's Bible Institute in Chetipalayam, Tamil Nadu, India. I reall enjoy teaching, and going through the Word with these girls, which goes to show, as my Dad put it, that " You are your father's daughter"!

Chetipalayam IS cooler than Dindigul, but only, I have concluded, because of the wind. It is very breezy, which is nice because the sweat output goes WAY down, but my room gets VERY hot at night, and that has resulted in some sleepless nights. Not good, considering that I require at least eight hours every night to maintain a healthy immune system. The effect have begun to show somewhat.

The orphans are so friendly! They are ALWAYS wanting my attention, and wanting to play. For some reason, they usually want me to sing for them. Now I love to sing, but this seems rather unusual, considering that I have never had this kind of request in the North (or anyplace else for that matter!)! Yesterday, some of the orphan girls asked me to teach their Bible Study that they have every night. The children have a very structured schedule that they must follow, and this includes one hour of secular study and one hour of Bible study every evening. I haven't really figured out what I will teach on, but I know that they will be attentive, whatever it is!

I hope this finds you well, and experiencing the rich blessings of serving our wonderful Creator!
