Roller coaster day!!

Out for breakfast at a Tamil cafe called Milanos, curry for breakfast great! with egg & halepino chillies in a roll. Fuel to go to the tea plantations for the baptisms this morning.
Three people from one family, who recently gave their lives to Christ. The water for the baptisms is held in a concrete trough in a concrete shed. We sang songs and prayed together, while everyone celebrated. Dave baptised the father, Ian did Mum and Bob E baptised the daughter. The family grow vegetable and pick tea for an income and live a very simple life, with few possessions.
We are 6,000 feet above sea level here and often find ourselves in the clouds themselves. Left and went straight to the government school, access to the school was via a muddy slope which they were still preparing as we arrived. 130 children were in attendance and were very excited to see us. We taught them a really great way of saying hello in English with actions. We had them all laughing and joining in the action songs. The 2 Bobs introduced themselves to the children, Bob E demonstrated that he wears a hearing aid and took it out to show the children. Bob C not to be out done took out his teeth!!!! Much to the amusement of the children, not to mention us. They did'nt want us to leave and neither did we.
Just down the road, outside the tea leaf weighing station, where local people tend to congregate
and the lady tea pickers collect their wages. The monsoon rain had started but this did not put them or us off from singing and sharing our stories of how God has changed our lives. They listened intently and stood there for a long time, many without shoes on their feet, including children as young as 2. Pastor Charles looks after this area and although we had to leave he will continue to work with the people of the this village. We found it difficult to believe they would stand in the rain all that time, after a hard days work. AMAZING BUT TOUCHING.
After dinner we visited Suresh juniors family home in Nuwara Eliya, they welcomed us with us tea and bananas from their garden. He was very proud of his family and we felt very privileged to visit them. Back to the hotel after a long day with another early start tomorrow.
