Our daughter Esther came from the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS), Elkhart Indiana, with a seminary mission tour group. Among the 22 visitors who came was a young man, Brent Graber, whom she presented to us as her prospective partner in her future life. We celebrated the event in the form of a formal engagement at the Matilda school Mallepalli.

We had a pastors' get-together at Mallepalli. On the first Wednesday. We distributed more copies of Don Jacob's book, From Rubbles Rejoicing, which was translated into Telugu. This book has become a standard guide to many village pastors who otherwise have no theological material.
