Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

Day 5 Souiran Village ~ Oct. 15th

We arrived at the village around 10am. A few believers from the GAP Foundation were there singing Christian songs to the children.

Brenda and Kristine played the parachute with the kids while the stations were set up. We then had the kids make tissue paper flowers, hand paint, stamp print faces, bubbles and color fans with a picture of Jesus with the children that said in Hindi 'God loves the little children'. We ate lunch then gave them our gifts that the children at Trinity put together.
My reflection:
I'm not sure if I can explain what the village was like in words. First, the hardest thing was not being able to communicate. I wanted so bad to make a connection with the children and their mothers.


Everything went very well. I can feel the holy spirit, because even though we are tired He has helped me persevere through.  He has helped keep me from being too hungry so I can focus on loving the children.
God is so good!
