Christmas Day

The following pictures are from December 25th 2015, Christmas day at the Bethel's Children's Home in Hunsur, India.

Each child received a new set of clothes - They were all very excited

Distributing mattress that I helped purchased for the children - They were very happy to receive them

Lunch time - Everyone got a plate of biryani, a famous Indian rice dish

Picture of everyone from the orphanage in their new clothes - One big happy family

Overall it was a very enjoyable day being surrounded by such kind and loving people.  I'm very thankful to have this wonderful opportunity to be apart of God's amazing work that He's doing in this place.

On Monday morning we are off on a school field trip with the seniors.  It is an eight hour bus ride into north Karnataka which we will spend two days looking at different historical sites. 

There has been a police curfew in the town of Hunsur over the last two days because of fighting between Hindu and Muslims.  Raju says it is the worst it has been in the last ten years as there are over 3,000 police all through the town trying to control the crowds of people.  It makes buying any supplies very difficult but I'm sure we'll manage.
