New Experiences

5.30 PM GMT  - Just came back after church! I have been thinking how my trip to UK has been such a blessing to me!
Today had a chance to meet & serve lot of disadvantaged people; this is my first such experience. Though almost everybody looked well to do on the outside, I was surprised to hear that some of them had some sort of mental illness, few of them were physically sick (one person said she has Fibromyalgia), some were very old, some homeless and so on.
Everyone of them I spoke to were very happy that the church had provided good dinner and they were very thankful, but one of them told me that it is a shame the church does it only on the 3rd Sundays :).

There were variety of interesting conversations with them. One asked me if I know Bollywood and then he told me that he has acted in a movie called "House Full". One person was kind enough to tell me how to make Green Tea! When I tried being smart and told him, "the tea bag he was holding could be from India", he replied,"It could be from Ceylon (Srilanka) as well :)" One beautiful lady shared her sad stories. She shared about her failing health, sleepless nights due to Fibromyalgia and she said she is part of the same church with whose partnership we were able to help the needy.
