My First Taste of Native Life in India

This is Alveena and her mother Meenu. I spent the afternoon today with Liz Hall searching for four girls who are coming into Young Women's at church this year. We only found this one in a tiny room of a house, but Alveena, her brother Alveen, and her mother Meenu were so HAPPY and seemed so happy to have us there visiting.

This is a picture of the kids at a slum school I visited with Brother and Sister Daniels. The school is in Kalkaji and is run by an NGO. The children are all so beautiful and eager to learn and interact with us.

This is Sister Daniels greeting the children. They LOVE her and she gets giddy when she talks about the music classes she teaches them and showed photos of each child to me.

This is Brother Daniels with the children. He is completely head-over-heels in love with them, especially the little ones. The Daniels are from Price, Utah and are Church service missionaries here in New Delhi. They also run the branch on the side in between teaching at orphanages and schools all over town!
