Today was quite an interesting day. At 11am (ish!) we went to a village to an inauguration ceremony of an orphanage which was only half built, called Hope Home. Lots of songs and dances, a sketch by the Nijaat boys, Sam gave a message. I couldn't understand most of the event, nearly all in Hindi.
Met someone who spoke in proper Victorian English - very odd. At times, Victorian English is as incomprehensible as Hindi - worrying that my heritage is as foreign to me as the Indian culture.
Got back and had a nap, then prepared for the youth group on Sunday. The young people's meeting I was going to speak at was cancelled, though Oliver and Rupa came still, not knowing it was cancelled.
In the evening we watched a Hindi film about a boy who was dyslexic. Was very good, three hours long, but it wasn't noticeable. Before this though, I helped Sam clean the church hall for tomorrow's service - he does everything, literally. If I ever think I'm busy....! Jane, Travis, Ravi, Bahadur and Saurebh watched the film with us. And Margaret made an apple crumble...lovely.
