"weinter" visitors

At the beginning of the month our aunt Mauri and cousins Connor and Hayden came to visit.  We enjoyed living life in India with them for the week.  It is the coldest time of year up here and they were extremely adaptable with a lost bag that never came, a bad storm knocking our power out for a couple of days and sitting at a train station waiting for their train to come after seeing the Taj Mahal for over 10 hours.   

They also came prepared to put on a two day winter program in a nearby village about 5K from here for children who are on holiday from school.  We planned the program with our friend Samuel who is serving this village and surrounding villages as a full-time health worker.  I think about 60+ kids attended and we spent 2 days singing, teaching, doing crafts, eating and playing games.  

It is hard to fathom that our neighboring towns are actually mountain villages.  We have so many close friends making a difference in these unreached areas.  The needs are hard to measure.
