Volleyball at the Church

These are some of the kids at 2nd branch. They play a lot of volleyball.
Elder K has played with them occasionally but my 1st time was Monday evening after Family Home Evening. They asked and I couldn't resist. It was a lot of fun....hard to play in a straight skirt and sandals.
There are always a few of the kids sitting on the steps watching the game. These are the back steps of the church. We love these kids.
This is a better back view of the church. If there is an outside activity this is where it is held.
Front view of the West Marredpally Chapel. There are 2 branches here, 1st and 2nd. It's so funny because we will walk to church and as we walk in it doesn't look like anyone is here. There are never any cars parked and usually 1,2 or 3 motorbikes. You walk in thinking no one is going to be there and the place will be crowded with people. We still aren't used to the idea of no vehicles in the parking lot.

This is the gate that seperates the church grounds from West Marredpally street. When we walk out of those gates we remember we are in India!!! The little house is the guard house. Anyplace in India that is nice has a guard! There was a bombing about a year ago and people are cautious of it happening again.
