8-7-12 Tuesday, part 3 (last part)

OK, so, seriously Saje, we gotta get this moving along. If we don't, people will be hearing about our flight home from India on the one year anniversary of our flight there!

Tuesday evening was wonderful. After service and waffle-goodness (see earlier post) we headed back to the Kingdom Hall for dinner and a show. The friends had made tons of great food and set up buffet lines in the back of the hall. Here is a picture of the inside of the KH:

The evening started out with some interviews. Zane and I were interviewed about our involvement in the Hindi language field. The brother on the right was the interviewer and the sister in white was our translator. Another brother was interviewed about preaching in Hong Kong and Other lands, and lastly another delegate from US was interviewed about how he learned the truth. 

This sister played a medley of three or four Kingdom Songs that she had worked on, including percussion tracks that played on the keyboard. The young brother followed with a classical piece. At one point his music fell off the keyboard, but he stopped, put it back, and picked up again right where he left off. We were very touched by the amount of work and sacrifice and time that no doubt went into preparing for their performances.

Lastly we were serenaded with a classic Chinese folk song and three beautiful Kingdom Melodies. Our hearts were bursting with love for them when we heard their voices singing praise to Jehovah, even though in a language we do not understand.

At the end of the night, none of us wanted to leave. It didn't matter if they could not understand the words we were saying to them, we just kept telling them, "We love you and thank you."

Stay tuned for more from Hong Kong and India. I promise to keep each day in one blog post. :)
