Our Indian friends will leave this evening. They are such happy people. Some have been members of the Church for many years. Their area will be made a stake soon. It is also Mother's Day in India. It really isn't Mother's Day in Thailand. Their day is in August, on the queen's birthday.
Of course, true to Thai custom, we took a photo after Relief Society. Sisters today were from many countries, including India, USA, Japan, China, Thailand, England, Australia. Our ward is English speaking and is the neutral language for all.
This man works in the temple with us. He is an enthusiastic person and always willing to speak English. He introduced these women as "Maa" (mother) , so one must be a grandmother, one his mother. They gave us sticky rice with banana slices, all wrapped in a banana leaf. Very delicious.
I want to remember all the beautiful dresses on these sweet Indian women--all sisters in Christ.
