Weeks Ending June 9 and 16

-

We have had a slow couple of weeks recuperating from the graduation and wedding festivities of the prior two weeks - not to mention the whip-lash jet lag!

 Visited the Rashtrapati Bhawan-Official Resident of the President of India and State Meeting Facilities.  It was original built by the British as the Viceroy's Residence and where the agreement for the independence and partition of India took place.  One of the world's  great disasters!

 Visiting our favorite Primary boys - Vivek and Aman.  With Sisters Watts and Raydu and the boys' uncle.  The boys are the only members but are supported 100% by the parents.  Vivek was ordained a deacon a few weeks ago and has been passing the sacrament.
 Unknown Lodi Era tombs and stepwell.  R.K. Puram Sector 5 Park.  Sister Toone, Skidmores and GAH

 Stepwell - dry!

Malviya Nagar Ward, Thursday Evening English Class, recently baptized husband and wife, Brother & Sister Massey, others are nonmembers; Grant & Elders Mills & Miles Indian National Airline (INA) Market.  Anil (mission president's driver) and Sister Hodges INA Market - Vegetables Eggs couldn't get any fresher! They have never heard of "free range chickens!"  Talk about a head bobble. And . . . they don't pluck but just skin the chicken right in front of you (taking off feathers and skin together) in these obviously FDA approved facilities.  Could it get any fresher? Fabric and sewing shop at INA Market Friday Sisters Peck and Hodges invited me to come along with them to INA (Indian National Airways)    Market where we found all sorts of fruits, vegetables, poultry, clothes, bedding, jewelry, you name it.    I found some bright dishcloths to make up into scripture bags for my Valiant Primary class.   ...
