It was the hottest day so far this year. 75-80 degrees, and we were out in the hottest part of the day. But still the people were everywhere walking around and many of us ran out of invitations. Zane and I cut out at 3:00 and gave over our extra invitations to those staying out. I'm not expecting to get any back, but that's a good problem to have. It was a very fruitful day.

Just one funny experience. Zane and I went into a deli to give an invitation. Zane was talking to the lady at the counter, explaining what it was for. He hit all the right points: the date, time, language. Then he added, "खास है औंर बहुत मुफ्त होगा" which is "It is important and will be very free."
He meant to say it was very important and would be free, because we'd been saying it all day.Right there in the middle of the store, I tried to stifle a laugh but it came out anyway! I felt horrible but zane didn't realize he had misplaced the 'very'. He smiled about his blunder and mine and the lady behind the counter also smiled and complemented us on our Hindi, and even took a few invites to give to the workers in the back!
