The indians have a talent for being able to drink water out of a bottle and it never touches their lips...they don't close their mouths...and you can pour a steady stream until the bottle is finished. These bottles were about 1/3 full. We poured the water into their mouths and they raced to see who could drink it the fastest. The rule is no spilling. I was so surprised that Elder Allred beat Rama. I chose Rama Kanth because I know he can drink a lot of water fast!!! Besides it was my game!!! I made up the rules....and I still lost!! Wow!! Good job Elder Allred! I'm impressed with what you are learning on your mission!

This is the big map we have in our foyer. It shows the boundries of the branches in Hyderabad. The lake they are pointing to is Tank Bund and the city is centered around the lake.

We had a good turn out and a really fun FHE. They requested mashed potatoes and gravy, French Fries and Chocolate cake. We were able to find a head of lettuce so we made a big green salad. Rama and Simon came early to help. Rama made the salad and as he was tearing up the lettuce he said, "They aren't going to eat this salad. No one will want any of this. We don't eat salad here!" Well my thought was "they don't eat mashed potatoes and gravy either." They have had McDonalds fries but most of them have never had homemade fries. We did the famous "fry sauce" and they couldn't get enough fries!! They loved them!! This is most of our 4th branch FHE group. We love our time with them. Their part of our Hyderabad, India family.
