On Maundy Thursday the V family visited us.
There were on a short holiday in Allahabad.
T ,a younger brother in Christ studied, grew in
the Lord and worked here for many years.
He studied abroad, came back and married
a lovely girl from Germany.
T and A are like family.
They have 3 boys and
live in a hill town in the Himalayas.
They brought us Darjeeling Green Tea
from there.
T & A left Allahabad about 10 years ago.
Our home was like a
refuelling and relaxing place for them.
Their boys are doing the same.
They enjoyed playing with Sheeba.
You should have seen them eating sour
green mangoes with salt.
Their mum loved our grapefruit and lemons.
In the Thursday Communion Service
we had a special visitor.
An old lady in her 80s.
She was born in a Christian home,
but married a non Christian
and adopted his religion.
Her son and daughter in law
attend our church and were
recently baptized.
That must have stirred this old lady 's
spirit and she came to church
after decades.
Do pray for her,
May she make a confession of faith.
We call her Ammaji
(mother ).
On Good Friday I spoke
on the first and fifth last
statements of Christ from
the cross.
Preparing the messages
was a great blessing to me.
It must be 40 -50 years old.
After church we had fellowship with Easter buns
and cold drinks.
We are praying for the salvation
of this family.
We served them dessert of cheesecake
and ice cream.
Tonight I made Korean pancakes.
I replaced the traditional Korean
ingredients with green onion,
fresh coriander and chicken.
Korean Pancakes called Pajeon

Dear Amrita,
One more great post. I can't help being amazed about what a rich and colorful life you are an important part of. You are hospital and thereby get to meet lots of great people, not to speak of the angels following.
Will pray for Ammaji and salvation of the young, smiling kids.
Good bless you for being such a great servant.

Hello dear friend
How I do hope that your holiday was a refreshing time.
It is a good thing to be hospitable. Giving them rest is a priceless gift.
My MILove said hello and that she was thinking of you. Your name on her lip on Saturday. I am sorry of my little presence here. A time in my life of a bit of solitude.
Eat a green mango for me :)
Peace and a warm hug to you.

Thank you for your sweet words friends.
Dear Zim, Darjeeling tea is green tea. You boil water and soak the leaves for a while - strain and drink it without milk and sugar. I am sure you can get it in Poland.
Hi Donetta, I made mango pickle, hot chutney and now I will make sweet mango chutney.I am giving away loads.
Hi Terry, my friend Tigi took pix of the boys playing with Sheeba, I must ask him to pass some to me.
We in Poland have mostly black teas from Darjeeling - green is very rare.
We can get Darjeeling tea here and its very good...love your photos of the precious families.....and you look so lovely in your mothers sari...will have to check out the Korean pancakes..sound good...my SIL is Korean...
Thank you Dani.
Black tea is good too Zim.

Actually Pinky is a grown up woman, but she is physically and mentally challenged.A very sweet girl with a mind of a child.
Those are beautiful friends who visited you after so many years. Your home is like a haven for people and beasts who seek shelter in your bountiful garden. Souls and stomachs are filled when people and animals visit your place. God bless you more for that. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.
