I was getting ready to travel to Coimbatore, and this time had booked a flight since my baby is still quite small and I didn’t think it wise to put him on the rickety bus up. People were also known to get bug bites – so, yes we were definitely not going that way. [...]
Today I was calling up a few people to invite them to our ‘Activated Club Meeting’. I had a feeling that I should call one particular man and did the same. During our conversation he told me that he had just been thinking of calling me 5 minutes earlier and couldn’t put it [...]
One of the pre-requisites for this camp I hope to attend is to send in a witnessing testimony. I was in a hurry so I wrote the first one that came to mind, and while it’s embarrassing to remember how non-aggressive my witnessing was 4 years ago, well it still had a happy ending:

A couple of us flew to Bombay for some meetings that had to happen. Thank God they let me on the plane at 8 months and I was thankful I had gotten a ‘fit to travel’ document from my doctor. It was funny to see the people at the ticketing counter looking at my [...]

Our little town of Jiutepec held a festival in celebration of “The family unitâ€. Our very awesome (yet very nervous) singing group was invited to participate, and so even though they had absolutely no idea what the event, stage, sound, or anything would be like they jumped at the opportunity with their whole hearts.
Thankfully there [...]
…I had been hoping to get my friends and acquaintances on a steady email program that would update them on our projects as well as send them some ‘feeding reading’. I had been doing it here and there, and it was quite sporadic. Daisy (a new member of our home who came from [...]
A while ago this “free hugs†video clip started making the rounds in cyberspace, and apparently has become quite the fad! I love the idea and think everyone should carry around one of those signs. It’s a great way to get to know people, pass out tracts… and just have fun! We haven’t done it [...]
