Kerela Bible Week

Kerala Bible Week was quite a difficult week for me. The day before it started Sarah came down with something that kept her in bed until the last day, and so I was caught between looking after her and attending the English studies, and helping out once again with the Sunday School drama.

The language barrier was a big problem there as some of the young men knew English, but there were only about 10 Keralan young people there, and the 3 girls were very shy or didn't know any English. It was a great relief to have the Moinabad crowd there to spend time with. The CYC activities were run by Carole from Moinabad, and he gave an extra class in the evenings and the first couple of nights I attended didn't attempt to get the young people to mix with any games at all.

Overall the studies were good, and again we had a lovely location, and it was a nice week. My problem was that we'd already had a month of busi-ness already, so our energy levels had nearly reached rock bottom!!

The Sister's class was a highlight for me. Sarah Aunty did the class on women who believed in Jesus and she had us all in groups with a charade to present to the main group. This was great cause it loosened everyone up, and we had a lot of fun trying to communicate our idea's through to each other without words. It made a lot of sense when we couldn't understand each other's languages. It was special to sit around with a group of women who were from another state that I hadn't spent much time in and know that it was only through our hope that we'd even met each other.
