The Khoslas - The Berkeleys - The Vacation! (badly needed one)


Welcome to the Philippines! 
How cool is this! Berkeleys from Sac. PJ cong are here! Just saw them last night, and tomorrow we leave for vacation with them - can't wait! Need to get some real air.

Studying with Sukhi at Jollibee - she brought chai for the guests.






























Meet the Khoslas from Delhi, India.  I saw them 12 years ago in San Jose, CA at their sons wedding. (Harts - remember Gurav and Naomi's wedding? these are their folks) 

We are wondering if they may have been the first Indians to be baptized in the Philippines over 20 years ago!  In 1992.  They received the truth in Belgium, continued studying in Turkey and Malaysia, and then were baptized in my KH here in Quezon City PI. They are fluent in PJ but read Hindi - and are here for 2 weeks. He will give a public talk in Hindi soon - more about that later. 

Few weeks ago I mentioned persecution - I had prayed about needing some more help from, specifically, an indian brother, - "Jah please send us someone with 'white hair'." But NOT LITERALLY! I meant someone with the experience we lack in strengthening studies in making a stand despite intense obstacles. So here we have it! It's been like taking a DO on a bible study.  They are indeed very encouraging and have been an answer to many prayers. 

Taking a few days off with Khoslas and Berkeleys - to the mountains - 7 hours drive. . .yuck!  but hopefully it will be worth it. cool, clean air . . . perhaps
