Christmas Blessings

It's been fun having Bill, Rae, her sister Su, and her brother Desi with me for Christmas. We went to church on the mall today, one of my pastor friend's. He invited us to stay for lunch. Bill and Rae shared briefly about their work in their district, and sang a song. For lunch the non vegetarians had chicken curry. Su and I both being vegetarians had the paneer curry, alloo gobi (potato and cauliflower) and puri (a puffy friend bread). It was delicious. After church we met up with Rae's brother.

 AT starting time, the church was almost empty but 45 minutes later it was packed!

 These pastors were handing out Bibles.

 These guys in tai kwon do outfits had people sit in a chair and then they blew on them and moved their hands over them -for less than a minute. The people paid for this, supposedly for some health benefit.
