Here are some pictures from our friday afternoon with the women, we made them american food and they tried some then tried to secretly throw it away haha- much what i would would do if it wouldnt offend everyone serving me. They brought all of us little plastic hair clips, so sweet. I am learning so much about generosity from a group of women that have nothing.
Another good note, the girl with the bad burn inflicted by her mother is healing somewhat. the burn is smaller now and the infection less severe. We went to go visit her mother and she herself was covered in burns as well, probably from her husband. The mother explained that the girl was asking for 20 rupees (50 cents) for some food to take for lunch and she got mad and burned her severely. We are not allowed to take the girl to the hospital but we are bringing antibiotics to her house as much as we can.
Ive been reading a book called "dangerous surrender", just started it- about crossing our lines of comfort and allowing our hearts to break for all the suffering in our world. we can become so content with our normal lives and find ways to shut out everything going on in the world outside of our neat lives. Praying to allow the lord to break my heart for what breaks his is dangerous and opens you up to a lot of hurt- but it also opens our eyes and hearts to loving others on a new level. Learning about this bit by bit!
"If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your Heart" - Oswald Chambers
Thank you for all the encouragement and love, happy its the weekend!
