Today was Princy's birthday!

Me with the birthday girl.

Cutting of the cake.

With it being a Sunday there was church but with it being Princy's birthday it was a little different than normal.  A pastor was visiting today so he spoke and Prakash also spoke and they had me speak as well.  Prakash spoke again and then a couple people in the crowd got up and said a few words.  When service was done it was time to celebrate Pricny's birthday.  They had me cut the cake with her.  After the cake cutting food was served.  The only thing I could eat was the sweets which was fine as I was not that hungry.  A little later they started playing with balloons.  She seemed to really enjoy her day.  

Pray for no rain tomorrow.  As much as I wish it would rain so the temperatures would be cool once more it cannot happen as we would be unable to go the leprosy colony.  If you recall yesterday we were going to go but the rain made us cancel the plan.  Leprosy cases are still being diagnosed and just like in biblical times they are not allowed in towns.  The disease is curable but it takes the person taking pills for a least six (6) months to a year and sometimes longer, and they simply can not afford to pay for the medication.  I really hope to be able to visit these people and tell them that even if people hate them they are still loved by the most important person, God.
