It was sound of music once again after a month as Peter, Salomi and Ruth restarted their violin practice at the Hope Home Calcutta and Grace, Martha and Guria get on with the dancing steps...tears of joy flowed from all of our eyes...it's still difficult to be your normal self with a truncated family...some still awaiting release and some with their families awaiting for our license to be issued! Sunday evening we are planning a praise time with Amit on the drums...

Pray for the Dalit children from Orissa...and also Anupam (from Calcutta - he should be released early next week). Sumila is still interned along with her nieces and nephew - Esther, Naomi and Joel...much prayer needed

One disturbing news is about Leah...she is down with cough (she had bronchitis when we got her at the Hope Home in November 2010) and without medication and very little food to eat her condition has compounded. They called us several times from Nagaland and we are planning a visit to Nagaland  next week. Pray for God's protection and guidance. Would also visit Lum, Luke, Kezia, Lydia and Mary...pray for God's provision for the travel and also for all that we need to get to these children...
