today we worshipped at adams blvd. church of christ, our new church home. then we had lunch at the baird's {some new friends} home. they went all out....sunday roast, potatoes, carrots, gravy, rolls, etc. and then we had ice cream sundaes for dessert....yum-o!
with stuffed bellies we went back to the church to donate blood to the american red cross. this is the first time i've donated since college. i don't know why i haven't done it in so long. i'm not scared of needles, and i don't get sick when i do it. daryl couldn't give because he'd been in india less than a year ago.
waiting to donate
why is it that the finger prick hurts worse than the needle in your arm? i actually have a little bruise on my finger!
poor little finger!

tonight we went back to 29th and yale church of christ. it was so nice to see old friends again! the family that daryl stayed with in india was there tonight. ricky spoke. it was amazing to listen to him! he had so much joy and excitement about being a christian!!!
afterwards we went to eat at desi wok for indian food.
his wife is feeling homesick. i feel so sorry for her. i asked how long they'd be in the u.s. and she teared up and said they'd be here until november. this is the first time she's been away from home and family for so long. she is so kind. she brought me an embroidered cloth that was hand-stitched by some of the ladies at the church in kakinada, india. one of their ministries at the church is to teach women how to sew so that they can make a living.

Good for you! Glad you were able to donate again. It is neat that they did that at the church building in b'ville. :o) Hope you are making lots of new friends there too.
