What a difference 24 hours can make! Early this morning, two of the BFLC workers were sent to Hyderabad to fetch our luggage -- a 5 hour journey each way -- rather than argue with Air India by telephone about getting our bags delivered. Dad and I both protested asking so much of these two guys, but in the end we had to admit it did make the most sense. (Paul is usually right about these things.)
So we headed out to another set of congregations, this time with Shalem as well as Zaccaiah. We watched the countryside change to lush rich fields and palm trees as we drew near to Chandulu, the church in the photo above. It's noticably hotter today, with the feel in the air of being near the ocean.
We moved on to Pittalavanipalem, then Gokarlamattm, both congregations needing a compound wall and backfill. With each village we drew closer to the water, and after Gokarlamattm we drove to a nearby fishing harbor. I took some video here and Dad shot many photos, some which were stunning, real National Geographic stuff. And no, I can't post them because we don't have a data cable for that camera.
We returned around 6:30pm, and I walked down to the internet cafe to post the previous day's blog entry. Our bags arrived shortly after I returned to the residence. What a gift of time and effort! I immediately changed out of the slacks that I had been wearing for 7 days and nights.
