Now I mentioned in the last post that the best part of Sabbath was church… Now normally I wouldn’t be the one to say that but as we sat there between Sabbath School and church 6 Caucasian people walked by and up to the front of the church! Zach and I were both stunned! We didn’t know they were coming and it was definitely a shock after being the only white faces we’d seen since arriving!
It turns out that near here in Ibraham Patnam there was a group of pastors putting on some evangelistic meetings for two weeks. This Sabbath they had been invited to come and put on the church service here in Nuzvid!
It was amazing! The sermon flowed in an organized manner that we hadn’t heard since arriving here and one of the pastors was a very good soprano saxophone player who stayed on pitch the whole time he played!!! I had almost forgotten it was possible! The man who spoke was William Miller, which is ironic because he was speaking on Oct. 22 (Great disappointment thingy in 1844?) and also because as he began introducing himself and telling about his 3 children (2 boys and a girl) I realized that I had been in Argentina with his daughter! The Adventist world shrinks the more I meet people all over the world!
Anyway, it was great to talk to them after the service and make more connections. Pastor Miller’s sister was on the trip and she’s from Wenatchee so there are some more things to connect everything.
