Faster than a speeding bullet!

So I'm pretty sure most people know or have at least heard how crazy the traffic in India is... Well, yesterday took that to a whole new level. Alex and his wife Reny took Sam and me to the METRO which is a wholesale store similare to BJ's or SAM's Club. The first time we went we got all the way to the store, which is on the other side of the city, and Alex got a phone call. It was only then that we remember we were supposed to be back near the house for a baptism in the Nepalese church. We drove through the city like mad men to try and make it on time. Mind you traffic does not stay in there own lane and everone tries to out run the other, so you can only imaging the dodging and weaving we had to do. The horn is used constantly here. They start honking at about 6:30am and don't stop until midnight. Alex might want to start a competitive driving career. LOL

The baptism was very nice.

There were 5 people that had decided to give there lives over to Jesus. Two women, one man, a twelve year old girl and a boy of about the same age. I'll admit it; I got a bit teary eyed. Sam and I both said how cool it was to share in that experience. The baptismal was a cross shaped pool that was set down into the ground. The service was conducted in Nepalese but the no translation was needed. The man actually spoke english so we got to here Pastor Rei pray over him.

After the baptism, we went home and played with foster children some more. Then finally went to the Metro in the evening. The carts were bumper to bumper. I told Sam we should have brought one of the Word Cup horns so we could navigate the store a little better. We decided to purchase some strawberry ice cream for everyone at the Agape Mission, which meant we had to do some competitive driving on the way home from the store so that is wouldn't melt all over the car. Needless to say I was very happy to be out of the car when we finally got home. Whew.
