A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.

Thought the best way to end this blog was to post a few pictures. Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for reading about our mission trip. Words really can not express how this trip has impacted our lives.                                                                  
Elena is reunited with Bandama. She had the privilege of leading her to the Lord last year. 

At the feeding program, this elderly lady just wanted to be held.



Here we are with our beloved hosts, Thomas and Marykutty Samuel. We found it challenging to keep up with Thomas who is a mere 80 years old. His energy and enthusiasm are amazing. And Marykutty is a fabulous cook. If you can't find her, just go to the kitchen.







Tribal poverty is the norm for life in the jungle.
And yet we find these simple people to be quite resourceful in living off the land.



Women will venture into the jungle to spend the day collecting firewood to sell for about $1 a bundle.












This dwelling is situated on the farm land right next to Quiet Corner. As we took walks down this road, we would be met by a little boy waving to us from the door way.








Meet Gundama, the first convert to Christianity in the village of Mavanalla. She thinks she is 90 years old but her spirit is forever young. She is spunky and delightful and willing to carry on a full conversation with us even though we do not speak the language. But she always ends her conversation with a word we all understand. "Alleluia!"
