Latest India Plans
It’s Monday PM, the 19th. Less than 1 week from now we will be on our way, again, to India for another 2 week visit.
We will stay at the orphanage again for just a short visit of 3 or 4 days.
While there we are going to put on a feast for all the children. It should be fun for all. One day we will break away from there and go to the Anna Unruh Home for the Aged in Therigoppula. We have a bunch of blankets to give to the residents there.
On our 4th day we head out from Jangaon to Warangal and Karimnagar to visit other ministries for a few days.
Our last visit will be way down to Anantapur for several days. When our time is up there Sharon and I will head back to Hyderabad to begin our long trip back home (something like 34 hours altogether).
I am determined to be able to post on this blog while there. Last time I had no access with my own laptop and had to borrow our hosts’ computer. With that, I was able to post messages, but without pictures for some reason. My plans this time are to get a local SIM card for my Blackberry. This will not only allow me to make cheaper phone calls, but supposedly also let me get to the blog for what I need to do. In case that fails I will also be stopping by a service provider in Hyderabad the day after we arrive to pick up a “dongle” for the laptop which is supposed to allow me to access Internet that way. I should be covered. But it is India, after all.
My intent with all of this is to somehow make this blog more interesting, at least to those of you who want to follow our comings and goings there. So, stop back often to check for updates and photos.

This is very exciting for me to follow your blog. I have been in contact with Jan Pierce. Are you actually travelling with her. My Great Grandfather Reverand Unruh began much of the work in the area you are going. In fact my Great Grandmother is Anna Unruh for which the Aged home is named for. My family will be praying for you. God Bless! We’re looking forward to photos!

Thank you Laura,
Yes, Jan travelled here with my wife, Sharon, and I. She will be returning with her husband, Roger, at a later date than usat a later date than us.
Yesterday we went to the Anna Unruh home in Tharigoppula to deliver blankets and share a special meal. We all prayed for each other, too. We took some pictures and videos. When we terurn home I will try to get some emailed off to you. Internet access here stinks and I can’t seem to send any pictures. I’m lucky just to be able to attend to my blog.
I’m glad you enjoy reading about our work in India. Thank you for your prayers. God Bless,
