Christmas Eve in Mettiguda

On Christmas Eve we went to visit some of our special friends. We had lunch with Madhu and his mother. (They live in Begampet) She taught me how to make Poppits. My favorite food snack here! I didn't get a picture of them because I forgot to take my camera. they are a good family and we are so happy they are part of our lives at this time. This is a typical neighborhood street scene.
We made another stop to Kennedy's family. (Kennedy Right) Mommy in the middle and Don left. They have a brother Alex on a mission. He's serving in KGF right now.

Christmas at Kennedy's home.


Sunderaj and Rani were another visit we made. These are there darling children. The little girl is so sweet I just want to scoop her up. But she's afraid of me because of my white skin. Many of the children don't know what to think about our white skin. They know it's different, I can tell you that!










Sister Anu Domnick was busy getting things ready for Christmas. She had made a lot cut outs on styrofoam and then colored them and hung them on her walls.



Building a "Crib" is a big deal here. The brown is dirt with grass planted. The grass just barely started to grow in this picture. Her stable also made of Styrofoam but not covered yet....and a path leading to the well. Her figures glow in the dark. I hope to go back and get a picture when the grass has grown.






Caroline Devawker is not a member but her girls are. I teach Jane Piano. Caroline made a beautiful Crib and was waiting for the grass to grow. Her stable was covered and lights already in place.
