Sunday Church

We went to church on campus this morning. It was Morgan's first time back in service.  It was a bit of a shock to some people as they don't usually have mothers come out of hiding until the baby is at least a month old.  She had a few comments made, but most were very gracious.
 At church, everyone leaves their shoes in the entryway.
 A microphone for the English speaker and for the Hindi speaker.  They sang some songs in Hindi and some in English.  A guest speaker from N. Carolina gave the message.
 A family enjoying the Sunday afternoon sun on campus.
This little girl knocked on our door this afternoon and told Andrew she had made up a little game to help him learn better Hindi.  This is them playing the game. 
One thing I want to mention is there are not very many foreigners in Allahabad.  The Streets are the only Americans that I know of on campus, and when walking around town we do not see any Americans there either.  The American friends we had over for dinner the other night have been here a year and a half, but they are not sure if their visa will get renewed next year or not.  They know of maybe 6-7 American families in Allahabad....and it's a city of five million.  The government does not easily let foreigners in, and we need to keep praying over the Street's visa protection.
