Grahame left this morning with Raju to go to Chitwan, where the Chepang people are. A young man from the bible college is there and there are over 200 new converts. Raju is going to baptise 100 people. Grahame will be there to video the event. How we would love to see this at home. I hope Grahame will survive the trip as it is a long way in a van and then at least a 4 hour hike and I know Raju's " 4 hour hikes" They are also photographing 40 children for another hostel there. These children are sold into the circus and usually never seen again. Bill Newman will be doing a crusade there next april, Lord willing. The rest of the team are off doing their various tasks. Grahame was up at 4 a.m.working on the computer, and our naughty monkey was trying to get back in, testing all the windows. He turned up later, sitting on our little balconies, looking very relaxed, having a good scratch. I talked to him through the screen, and he jumped at me. Scared the life out of me. He is not very friendly, and I am a bit nervous going out to bring in the washing. He has a set of quite nasty teeth. I had to do some further cleaning and will have to wash the floor again with very hot water. There is also a memory stick missing with some important photos. Hope he hasn't eaten it. He sits there staring at windows,thinking,thinking how he can get back in. The two screens were pushed in over Margaret's bed, where he had been testing. We have made sure they are well secured. Last night, Grahame had to buy a mosquito net to take as Chitwan is in the tropical zone. The only one he could find was hot pink with floral patterns. I'm trying to imagine Grahame and Raju tucked up at night under their frilly canopy.
